About this title

Synopsis

Called "the biggest decision for criminal attorneys since Miranda", Melendez-Diaz v. Massachusetts opened up new possibilities and every criminal attorney must understand the consequences.  Jim Shellow, cited by Justice Antonin Scalia in that groundbreaking decision, is the author of Cross-Examination of the Analyst in Drug Prosecutions.   This book is a complete guide to what has been called "the chemical defense".   Starting with a thorough explanation of the scientific principles behind drug identification and of the role of the drug analyst, Cross-Examination of the Analyst in Drug Prosecutions also provides the attorney with the crucial techniques and challenges that can make the difference in your case.  Completing the package are pretrial motion and orders, sample transcripts and proposed jury instructions.
