October 14th meeting: Prosecuting Homicides; Investigative Reporting

In spite of the image presented on crime shows, a case isn’t done at arrest. The accused still has to be convicted. Join us in welcoming Chief Trial Counsel Jonathan Mosher of the Pima County Attorney’s Office, who will give us a look inside specific, high-profile homicide trials to illustrate common challenges faced in homicide cases and how to overcome them. Specifically, he will talk about the disappearance and murder of Kay Read and the cold case murder trial of her killer.

We’ll have a delicious lunch, and a fun book drawing.

In our afternoon session, Arizona Daily Star reporter Tim Steller will discuss investigative reporting.  How do reporters choose their topics to investigate? What are the challenges? How have changes in news media affected the ability to do investigative reporting? Bring your questions for him!
