Description

MoBarCLE, in partnership with CLESeminars.com, bring you this quality seminar.

(This is a “simulive” rebroadcast of a previously recorded presentation. The presenter will be available during the rebroadcast to answer questions.)​

Presented by Philip Bogdanoff, Esq.

Tiger King was the number one rated show on Netflix, drawing over 34 million viewers in its first 10 days.  However, the documentary reveals only PART of the story. 

In this interactive presentation, retired prosecutor Philip Bogdanoff will reveal the complete story of the trial of Joseph Maldonado-Passage, who was charged with two counts of Murder for Hire, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1958(a), and numerous wildlife offenses.  He will discuss the strength of the prosecution’s case, and their attempts to use other acts evidence to show additional attempts to solicit a hit on Carole Baskin, their attempt to protect the identity of the undercover FBI agent, and their efforts to prevent the defense from introducing evidence that someone else had committed these offenses. 

Bogdanoff will review defense attempts to dismiss the indictment, prevent the joinder of misdemeanor offenses with the murder charge, and prevent the introduction of certain evidence.  He will explain defense counsel’s strategy and examine why other possible defenses were not presented at trial.  The goal of this seminar is to cover various criminal rules, evidentiary rules, case law, defenses, and trial strategy while reviewing this fascinating trial.
