It was great to see 30 people at our 9 June meeting. Unfortunately, 1/3 was made up of the Palatine Kiwanis holding an Interclub and the Grady Clan.
However, Ed Kenny (left) chaired the election where officials were elected for the 2009-2010 fiscal year and Dennis Shere spoke on the role of defense council in criminal trials focusing in on his involvement with the defense team in the Brown's Chicken massacre trial.
Elected officials for the upcoming year are:
President Joel Bloom
President-Elect Holly Sorensen
Vice-President Betty Wurster

Mr Shere's talk was fascinating and focused on many stages of the trial. From the goal of the defense team (to make the State prove its case), to jury selection to the process of jury deliberations.
