On that day of trial, prosecutors had called several medical experts who testified as to the cause of George Floyd’s death, which they stated was due to asphyxia caused by Mr. Chauvin’s knee on his neck. Mr. Kelly noted that the defense made no objections to the experts’ testimony, and that the trial on the whole has not been adversarial. Mr. Kelly added that the trial has been all about George Floyd, and Derek Chauvin has not been humanized at all.

Mr. Kelly also discussed the potential strategies that the defense may use, including looking at Mr. Chauvin’s intent. According to Mr. Kelly, this should have been the defense’s focus from day one, and while there is no question in the jurors’ minds that Mr. Chauvin’s knee on Mr. Floyd’s neck contributed to his death, the question is whether Chauvin knew that Mr. Floyd was in distress and whether Chauvin exhibited a depraved mind or a reckless disregard for human life with his actions.

H5 Matter Analytics targets the most challenging parts of the privilege workflow… We’re very excited to leverage nearly 20 years of technology experience to help customers address the costs and risks associated with privilege review.

SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)
March 19, 2021

H5 today announced a new functionality now available in H5 Matter Analytics that expands the H5 Privilege Analytics solution by enhancing the process of creating privilege logs from within the H5 well-established Relativity-integrated application. With customization features and reusable template generation for future privilege log creation, the new module expands the power of Privilege Analytics, which accelerates the overall privilege review workflow.

The creation of privilege logs, which describe reasons for withholding items from production in a lawsuit under a claim of attorney-client privilege or work product protection, can be a tedious, expensive and labor-intensive process, especially given the large data volume that exists in many of today’s matters.

The new H5 Privilege Log Design Module is designed to simplify and expedite the privilege logging process with clean name normalization outputs and automated, customizable privilege reasons assigned to each potentially-privileged document. Users benefit by having access to these integrated features from within Relativity or RelativityOne, permitting customization as the log is built.

“There are few technologies in the marketplace that effectively address privilege and privilege logging, which are huge costs in litigation,” said Jason Richard, H5 Vice President of Products. “H5 Matter Analytics targets the most challenging parts of the privilege workflow, starting with advanced solutions for privilege content identification, continuing through to the creation, QC, and finalization of the privilege log. We’re very excited to leverage nearly 20 years of technology experience in this new release to help customers address the costs and risks associated with privilege review.”    

The integration of the Privilege Log Design Module into H5 Matter Analytics Privilege Analytics expands the overall privilege review solution to include both the identification and classification of sensitive privileged information and the time-consuming chore of compiling details and reasons, easing the case team’s burden.        

The new release of H5 Matter Analytics 2.7.3, which contains the Privilege Log Design Module, is now widely available.

AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB)
January 27, 2021

Local attorney Jason Katims is offering Austin-area residents speeding ticket consultations to determine whether they should fight their case in court.

One of Katims’ practice areas is representing clients in traffic violation cases. When it comes to speeding, most Texans simply opt to pay a ticket and move on, not realizing that by doing so, they are pleading guilty and taking a conviction on their driving record. An attorney can fight a ticket for a speeding violation and prevent insurance rates from increasing and points from accumulating, potentially adding up to a suspension or loss of license.

Many people are unaware that they are not obligated to pay the fine for a traffic ticket. An attorney can help fight a ticket in or out of court—and many Texans are surprised that the attorney’s fees are less than the fine they might have paid for their ticket.

When potential clients meet with Katims to discuss their cases, he will listen to the circumstances surrounding their situation and give them a detailed explanation of what they can expect should they decide to move forward with having his firm represent them in court, including the process of fighting a ticket and the expenses involved. During these consultations, legal advice is not given, but should a client decide to move forward and hire the firm, work on the case will begin immediately.

The best time to contact an attorney is immediately after a speeding ticket, but the next best time is now.

“The Level 1 FCIR was designed to make investigations conducted by first-level analysts more efficient,” explained David McLaughlin, CEO and Founder of QuantaVerse. “We adapted our original FCIR to aggregate only the most elemental information and serve it up to first-level analysts in a clear and l

WAYNE, Pa. (PRWEB)
January 20, 2021

QuantaVerse, which uses AI and machine learning to automate financial crime identification and investigations, has introduced an additional Financial Crime Investigation Report that addresses the specific needs of Level 1 AML compliance teams. The new report helps reduce the average time spent investigating an alert by over 50 percent.

Level 1 investigators at financial institutions are the first line of defense against money laundering perpetrated by criminals and terrorist financing organizations. They evaluate suspicious cases triggered by transaction monitoring system (TMS) alerts. These first-level investigators manually gather critical information from the Internet and multiple disparate databases and spend, on average, 20 to 90 minutes clearing an alert or attempting to determine if the case requires additional scrutiny.

The QuantaVerse AI-enabled Financial Crime Platform automates the AML investigation process. What the platform discovers is reported to analysts through distinct types of Financial Crime Investigation Reports (FCIRs). The new QuantaVerse Level 1 FCIR enables the speedy clearing or escalation of a case to a senior analyst. The report leads with a high-level summary of the case and includes alerts that triggered the investigation, automatically pulling descriptions of violated rules directly from the TMS. This limits the need for first-level analysts to leave the report to search other databases. The next section of the report provides risk scores related to reputation, monitoring, and intent, as well as overall risk segmentation which delivers an at-a-glance understanding of where risk lies for each entity and what requires consideration.

The final section of the report is a narrative summarizing risks that the entity exhibited along with those for which it was cleared. By articulating what risks have been eliminated along with the rationale for that conclusion, investigators can use these explanations to explain why a case was cleared. Due to the report’s modular architecture, the Level 1 FCIR can be adapted for multiple business lines, including retail, correspondent, and commercial banking.

“The Level 1 FCIR was born out of our clients’ need to make investigations conducted by first-level analysts more efficient,” explained David McLaughlin, CEO and Founder of QuantaVerse. “We worked tirelessly to adapt our original Financial Crime Investigation Report to aggregate only the most elemental information and serve it up to first-level analysts in a clear and logical report.”

The QuantaVerse family of FCIRs now includes:

• 
  Level 1 FCIR – helps first-level analysts to speed initial reviews of TMS alert investigations
• High-Risk Entity Report – assists financial institutions in efficiently conducting periodic entity risk reviews
• Alert-based FCIR – examines cases that have been triggered by TMS alerts including in-depth analysis of related entities and counterparties and the content required for filing SARs when indicated
• Entity-based FCIR – analyzes and documents the risk associated with each customer and their counterparties for suspicious activity that a TMS system has failed to discover

QuantaVerse’s Level 1 FCIR is now available customers using the QuantaVerse Financial Crime Platform. To schedule a demo of the offering, please visit: https://quantaverse.net/contact.
