		On appeal, defendant contends that the trial court committed reversible error both when it denied his motion to dismiss the indictment based on alleged perjured testimony presented to the grand jury and when it allowed testimony at trial regarding a previous theft that defendant was alleged to have committed at the same store.
		Defendant argues that the inaccurate statements by Officer Arendt that were presented to the grand jury could not have been made in good faith because of the magnitude of the error.
		Defendant first contends that, because of the volume of evidence that was heard regarding the theft of the trench coat, "the issue of [his] guilt or innocence became obscured by the other[-]crimes evidence." Defendant appeals from a bench trial.

	DEFENDANT
		If [the defendant] presents evidence of a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for discharging [the plaintiff], then in order for [him/her] to recover against [the defendant], [s/he] must convince you by a preponderance of the evidence that the legitimate reasons offered by [the defendant] were false and that race discrimination was the true reason.
		Because [the plaintiff] was an employee at-will, [the defendant] had the legal right to terminate [his/her] employment unless the decision to discharge [him/her] was based upon [his/her] race as to constitute intentional and illegal discrimination.
		Therefore, if you believe that [the defendant] discharged [the plaintiff] because of the violation of the employer's policies, then you should find in favor of [the defendant] even if you believe that [the plaintiffs] termination appears to be unfair and unreasonable, or even if you disagree with the result.

	Gender DEFENDANT
		If [the defendant] presents evidence of a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for discharging [the plaintiff], then in order for [him/her] to recover against [the defendant], [s/he] must convince you by a preponderance of the evidence that the legitimate reasons offered by [the defendant] were false and that gender discrimination was the true reason.
		Because [the plaintiff] was an employee at-will, [the defendant] had the legal right to terminate [his/her] employment unless the decision to discharge [him/her] was based upon [his/her] gender as to constitute intentional and illegal discrimination.
		Therefore, even if you may disagree with the actions of [the defendant], or feel such actions were unfair, that alone is not a sufficient legal basis to find in favor of [the plaintiff] on [his/her] gender discrimination claim.

		It is not possible that the defendant both (1) knew that the data was present and used it and (2) did not know the data was present and had believed that it was deleted at some earlier time.
		While it is possible that the defendant did all of the things identified by the prosecution in this case, all of the evidence that I have found speaks against it, and the prosecution has produced no credible evidence to support their contention of knowing possession or use.
		Despite the prosecution's claim that the defendant's system is 'super clean' and that therefore the defendant must be guilty, there is, in fact, a great deal of trace evidence in the residual data on the defendant's system and disks, and all of this evidence points to the defendant's innocence.

	An Emotional Defense: Guiding Your Defendant Through Employment Litigation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In some cases, because the defendant had no relationship with the plaintiff, or the alleged injury appears to be trivial, the major source of stress may come from the frustration and inconvenience of having to deal with a complaint.
		For defendants who feel they were either negligent, contributed in some way to the injury claimed by the plaintiff, or are ambivalent about their role, the process is much more difficult.
		As your defendant gains a better understanding of the cause and effect relationship between stressors and the resultant problematic responses to questions, s/he learns to decrease anxiety in the face of these stressors so that his or her mind can be free to assist you in providing the best defense possible.

	Personal Jurisdiction: In Which Court Can I Sue the Defendant? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The defendant enters the state in which you filed suit after the case is filed, even if only for a short visit, and you serve the defendant with the court papers (normally a summons and complaint) in the state.
		The defendant (individual or business) has engaged in at least a small but significant amount of activity that constitutes "minimum contacts" in the state in which you've filed the lawsuit (and the case involves that activity).
		The "minimum contacts" requirement generally means that a defendant (person or business) who is a citizen of a different state must have enough connection to the state where a case has been filed for a judge to conclude that it's fair for the state to exercise power over the defendant.

		In addition, the Defendant has received no assurance from the government that such statements are not part of the government's case and the government does not intend to introduce such statements into evidence.
		If such statements exist and the government intends to use them at trial, the Defendant has cause and the authority of the Supreme Court to require that such statements be edited or redacted in such a manner so as to avoid incriminating him.

		Requiring a defendant who takes the stand either at a pretrial hearing or at trial to disclose discussions with counsel, or to require the defense attorney to disclose those discussions, impinges on communication twice: first, at the time of the confidential disclosure; second, at the time of testifying.
