Jury surveys in major trials are a steady component of DBA assignments. We are hired to locate and interview, post-trial, the jury members in order to determine potential jury misconduct and to enhance future trial expertise.
For NBC News, during the O.J. Simpson preliminary hearing, DBA assisted with investigation services. Any interesting people who could comment on, or be connected to, any key figure needed to be identified and located, often with background packages as well. Subjects included O.J. and Nicole's neighbors through history, teammates, high school cheerleaders, homecoming court members, business partners and all family relatives. Additionally, associates or peers of any expert presented in the hearing were needed for comment, and experts were needed by NBC in all key evidence areas.
When a leading mob bookie was convicted of racketeering in Florida, he sued his attorney for malpractice and resulting defamation of character. DBA handled the malpractice insurance defense by working to verify the appropriateness of the verdict by finding additional obscure public records of a bookmaking past not even known to the federal investigators.
For an insurance payments defense in a trial brought by seriously suspect medical clinics, DBA prepared a comprehensive history of workers compensation legislation and enforcement actions directed against abusive medical clinics which operated as claims mills. DBA interviewed district attorneys in many counties and reviewed criminal filings, legislation and news reports covering a key ten year period.
A casino employee plaintiff claimed an average $900 a week in tips in the Asian Games section of an LA area Casino. Those tips were part of lost income claimed in a major disability case trial. DBA was hired to document all that could be legally learned as court-usable evidence about casino tips in the LA area. Our research took us to agents of the IRS, gaming task forces, casino owners, pit bosses, ex-employees, etc. DBA was ultimately able to document a number of lawsuits, rulings and casino rules, including buy-in policies, whereby employees “bought” their positions from pit bosses based on expected tips, all of which strongly commented on the plaintiff’s damages claim.
A large theft of oriental rugs caused red flags for a DBA insurance company client. The theft was from auctioneers renting an insured warehouse prior to a "warehouse sale." DBA tracked the subjects through their prior history around the nation. We proved that similar insured robberies had occurred a half dozen times before to the same auctioneers in different wide-flung locales, and the list of stolen merchandise in these other instances was often very similar.
