SUMMARY:Webinar: Prosecuting Abusive Head Trauma: What Virginia Prosecutors Need to Know About the New Jersey Nieves/Cifelli Decisions
DESCRIPTION:CASC is pleased to present the next webinar in our 2026 webinar series: “Prosecuting Abusive Head Trauma: What Virginia Prosecutors Need to Know About the New Jersey Nieves/Cifelli Decisions“. \nJoin Henrico County Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Alison Martin & CASC Deputy Director Nancy Oglesby as they cover the recent appellate decisions out of New Jersey\, State v. Nieves and Cifelli\, which has generated significant discussion and\, in many cases\, misplaced debate about the science of abusive head trauma (AHT). These cases are now being raised in courtrooms beyond New Jersey\, including in Virginia\, often with claims that go well beyond what the decisions hold. \nThis webinar will break down those rulings and cover what the New Jersey Supreme Court actually decided\, the procedural posture of the cases\, and why those details matter when applied in practice. The session also addresses how these decisions are being mischaracterized in litigation and how to best respond when they arise in your cases\, including reinforcing how the science behind AHT remains as solid and reliable as ever \nThe webinar will take place on Tuesday\, June 30\, 2026\, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. \nCASC welcomes both prosecutors and their staff members employed in Virginia Commonwealth’s Attorneys’ Offices to this webinar. \nYou must register by end of day on June 29\, 2026.  Click here to register.
