Solved Cases

Solved Case Recognition

 

Congratulations to Sergeant John Stires of the Chula Vista Police Department for being the first examiner recognized by NACVSA for his work with the CVSA.  The results of the case were fairly typical of the experience of most examiners; the results of the CVSA examination were used to confront the suspect which resulted in admissions.  What was not typical was a ploy by the defense before trial.  The defense hired a rather pricey “expert” whose intention was to tell the jury that the CVSA was nothing more than a form of coercion which forced their client to say something that wasn’t true.  The judge after a hearing so severely limited the scope as to what the expert could testify to that the defense abandoned the strategy.   Sergeant Stires had prepared himself to testify on behalf of the use of the CVSA and was a little disappointed that he didn’t get the chance to give the hired gun from the defense a lesson in how to obtain the truth.  Congratulations to Sergeant Stires for not only solving the case but for his trial preparation as well.

 

Sergeant Stires will receive a certificate of recognition and a voucher to attend an advanced training class tuition free.

 

If you have an interesting case or experience using the CVSA please forward it to us so that we can post it on the website and you will also be considered for special recognition.
