child pornography cases in federal court
00:06
or in state court are very serious
00:08
unfortunately in the federal system
00:10
there’s a point system that can
00:12
exacerbate the amount of time someone
00:14
might have to serve should they be
00:15
convicted of a child pornography case so
00:18
the goal is to try to mitigate the
00:19
outcome as soon as possible most child
00:22
pornography cases do result in a
00:23
conviction either by guilt or by trial
00:25
because a lot of it is already on the
00:27
internet so the important feature of
00:29
that is to try to reduce the exposure
00:31
that person has and to try to get the
00:33
court to look at variances in the types
00:35
of sentences that can be imposed by
00:37
looking at the background of the client
00:39
and that’s one of the things we really
00:40
do take pride in we take a lot of pride
00:43
in looking at the background of the
00:44
client and forget presenting that to the
00:46
court for mitigation purposes and of the
00:49
number of cases we’ve done which have
00:51
been many in child pornography we are
00:53
over 90 successful in mitigating the
00:55
outcome of the sentence
