Jessie Weissman is a legal professional who lives in Florida, where she specializes in criminal defense. Previously, she worked as a prosecutor for various case types, ranging from DUIs and petty theft to sex crimes against children.
During her time as a prosecutor, Jessie Weissman’s compassion showed through in her many efforts to help others. “While I was a prosecutor,” she said, “I became heavily engaged in training and teaching law enforcement officers. I organized and presented over half a day at a seminar in Sarasota/Lakewood Ranch attended by Sarasota Sheriff's Office, Manatee Sheriff's Office, Florida Highway Patrol, Sarasota Police Department and Venice Police Department. “The areas I covered were D.U.I. Investigations, 4th and 5th Amendment Issues, Report and Affidavit Writing, How to Testify at Motions, How to Testify at Trial, and Search & Seizure Issues. I also have lectured at various in-service trainings for the North Port Police Department and the Sarasota Sheriff's Office on the topics of DUI Investigations, traffic code enforcement, consent issues, Miranda Warnings, and the 4th and 5th Amendment.” Weissman didn’t just help train law enforcement officers, though, she touched the lives of victims and showed them that she cared about what they had been through. “It was always my goal [as a prosecutor] to be a voice for victims,” wrote Jessie Weissman. “I had and have numerous victims who still – to this day – call me. The same is true for jurors that have been through trial with me. One woman writes me an email several times a year. I feel fortunate to have had the chance to make a difference for three years.” Jessie Weissman Prosecutor Wordpress Blog
