Great tips from the Harris County Court Reporters! I interviewed 12 of some of the best court reporters working the Harris County Criminal Courts and got their “inside information” on how jurors, lawyers, witnesses and judges can improve in trial to make it easier for the court reporter to take down ALL the information required of them for an excellent record.
If you get a chance, watch “Cold Justice” – now in it’s seventh season – on the Oxygen station
It features Kelly Siegler – former Harris County Prosecutor and mother to current Assistant District Attorney Kelsey Siegler. The show also includes behind the scene work and cameo appearance by Houston Defense Attorney Murray Newman. Excellent work by Kelly and staff solving “cold” criminal cases.
