Kurt Zaner

A live and interactive Voir Dire Session.

Kurt will question 10 jurors and work through all of the challenging concepts that mirror his Voir Dire in 30 minutes or less presentation, as well as topics when you have more time. After demonstrating during the live session, Kurt will explain and walk through the strategies on how to get jurors to talk and share honestly, how to deal with difficult jurors and questions, how to use topics to both plant seeds and discover toxic jurors, and how to elicit the right testimony to strike jurors for cause.

Steve Straughen was a well site supervisor at an oil and gas frack site. All of the oil extracted from the ground was being deposited in large frac tanks - rectangular tanks about the size and shape of a mobile home. While investigating strange sounds from the top of the tank, the tank exploded sending Steve 50 feet into the air. Steve survived with severe orthopedic injuries, but ultimately lost his leg. The tanks exploded because they were poorly maintained and delivered to the site with holes in them. https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/oil-gas-worker-injured-frac-tank-explosion-awarded-30-million-colorado-federal-court/
