Description / paper instructions
For the Portfolio Project, you will apply what you have learned about legal concepts of fraud to based on four Fact Patterns, which will serve as fictional case studies. Each Fact Pattern involves a different type of fraud and raises different legal procedural issues. Access the four Fact Patterns in this Module. For this option, assume you are a fraud examiner. You are called as an expert witness in several current cases. Download the template of the Evidence Chart in this module, which you will fill out for all four Fact Patterns. For Fact Pattern A: The prosecution calls John’s ex-wife to discuss her knowledge of John’s finances. The prosecution also raises questions about John’s finances while the two were married. The prosecution calls the ex-wife’s attorney and asks him why he decided to report John to State Agency. Attorney testifies he heard “through the grapevine” that John had been claiming he had the kids full-time. Rely on the entire Fact Pattern and any new facts introduced in directions here. What rules from the Federal Rules of Evidence will apply in this case? For Fact Pattern B: At trial, the prosecution calls Mary’s husband to ask him what Mary tells him about her work duties. The defense objects to the question. What rules from the Federal Rules of Evidence will apply in this case? Rely on the entire Fact Pattern and any new facts introduced in directions here. For Fact Pattern C: At trial, the prosecution seeks to introduce statements of Beth as made to the police in a police report. What rules from the Federal Rules of Evidence will apply in this case? Rely on the entire Fact Pattern and any new facts introduced in directions here. For Fact Pattern D: Assume the DA charged Bill with a crime. At trial, Dan is called as a witness and testifies that Bill told him there was an investment fund and that Bill was an investment manager. Bill also told Dan all the information he had been told by Amy. Dan testified to Amy’s statements as told to Bill. What issue of evidence does this raise, if any? Rely on the entire Fact Pattern and any new facts introduced in this fact pattern. Essay: Write a short essay answering the aforementioned questions, and indicating what rules of the Federal Rules of Evidence apply in this fraud case. Your paper should be 2-3 pages in length, not including the Evidence Chart. Include a separate reference page and follow the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements
Section B: The Role of the Expert Witness Write 4-5 pages addressing the following items with separate sections for each of the Fact Patterns that you completed in Part 1: If you are called as an expert witness in this case in your capacity as a fraud examiner, what would you focus on to support the prosecution? What would you say if you were called to support the defense? Indicate what additional investigation and research you might need to do. Indicate what qualifications you would need to have to qualify as an expert witness. The complete Portfolio Project assignment should be 9-12 pages in length (including your module 7 deliverable), well written, and should follow the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements
