THEFT BY CHECK AND ISSUANCE OF A BAD CHECK TRIAL MANUAL
Great tips from the Harris County Court Reporters!
I interviewed 12 experienced court reporters working the Harris County Criminal Courts and got their “inside information” on how jurors, lawyers and witnesses could improve in trial to make it easier for the court reporter to take down ALL the information required of them for a good record. THESE ARE SOME GREAT TIPS! (Interviews took place in 2019)
Katelyn Harrelson has been a court reporter since 2013. She substituted as a court reporter in all the courts until 2015 when she landed a permanent job in County Criminal Court at Law Number 6 with judge Larry Standley. She is now the court reporter in County Criminal Court at Law Number 6 – judge Kelley Andrews presiding.
COURT REPORTER TIP – EXPLAIN ACTIONS – Lawyers need to remember that the “RECORD” – unlike jurors – cannot “SEE” – it can only “HEAR”. Act like you are on the radio talking to an audience. The audience cannot see so you must explain in words what “action” is happening. So when you hand over a piece of paper to a witness – say what it is for the record! When a witness points to a part of their face that got hit or to something on a blackboard – say where they got hit or what they pointed to on the blackboard for the record! When a witness is demonstrating something for the jury, your radio audience can’t see it so say – in words – what the witness is doing, action-by-action for the record. Whoever reads your record later was NOT in the courtroom. Painting a clearer picture of what was happening makes it much easier for your reader (most likely appellate court) to understand what was going on in the courtroom. It also helps me when editing the transcript. Thank you in advance!
Linda Hacker has been a court reporter since 1990. She worked freelance until 1994 then from 1994 to 2000 she worked as a substitute for the courts. In 2000 she landed a job as court reporter for the 339th then in 2009 as a court reporter for the 177th. She is currently one of several court reporters who work in the Emergency Trial Dockets.
COURT REPORTER TIP – ONE PERSON AT-A-TIME – I know other court reporters have said this and I would like to reiterate – PLEASE slow down AND do not talk over each other! We CANNOT take down your words when two people are talking at the same time or talking too fast. Thank you in advance!
Rachel Peres has been a court reporter since 2013. She spent 5 years as the court reporter for the 313th juvenile court before becoming the court reporter for County Criminal Court at Law Number 4 – judge Shannon Baldwin presiding.
COURT REPORTER TIP – SENSITIVE MICROPHONES – Lawyers need to remember that we have a microphone attached at the bench in order to hear your bench conversations. Please be careful when passing papers or other items to the judge! If those papers or items HITS the microphone the amplified sound hurts our ears. Thank you!
Karen Hendricks Garcia has been a court reporter since 2011. She spent 4 years doing freelance then became the court reporter for County Criminal Court at Law Number 11 for 4 years. Since January 2019 she has been the court reporter for the 228th Criminal District Court – judge Caroline Dozier now presiding.
COURT REPORTER TIP – HANDOUTS FOR JURORS – We could educate jurors BEFORE they enter the courtroom on “how to be a good juror during voir dire.” Perhaps give them handouts in the hall while they wait to come into the courtroom. Tips – speak up, say your juror number before speaking, don’t talk at same time as lawyer, etc.
Amanda Fazio has been a court reporter since 2008. She has spent her entire career assigned to the Harris County criminal courts. She has worked in five criminal courts during those 17 years and is currently the court reporter in the 209th District Court – judge Brian Warren presiding.
COURT REPORTER TIP – LET THE ANSWER SOAK IN – After a witness answers a question – TAKE A BREATH – and let the answer sink in to the jury! It is difficult to comprehend everything said with running questions and answers. Also, PLEASE give the CITE along with the Case Style when quoting case law to the court, otherwise I have to spend time looking it up.
Ramona Sonnier has been a court reporter since 1999. She worked freelance for 4 years in all types of Harris County courts – including criminal, civil, juvenile, and family. In 2003 she got a permanent position with County Criminal Court at Law Number 5 under judge Margaret Harris and is now in the same court with judge David Fleischer presiding.
COURT REPORTER TIP – HANDOUTS FOR WITNESSES – I would like to see the witnesses coached better before taking the stand. Let’s give ALL witnesses – before they testify – a “Witness Stand Tips” pamphlet that explains basic things such as: 1) speak loudly, slowly and clearly, 2) don’t speak until the lawyer has stopped speaking, 3) only answer the question posed to you – don’t elaborate 4) the court reporter can only take down what one person says at a time, so don’t interrupt, 5) Don’t talk when a lawyer makes an objection until the judge tells you, etc.
Tiffani June- Russell has been a court reporter since 1998. She worked freelance for 15 of those 27 years while raising 3 children. She is now the full-time court reporter for County Criminal Court at Law Number 7 – Judge Andrew Wright presiding.
COURT REPORTER TIP – READING FROM A DOCUMENT – Attorneys seem to launch into overdrive when asked to read something from a written document. It’s not really the speed that is the problem, it is that people talk so fast that they don’t speak clearly – don’t mumble. Slow down and enunciate those words! Believe me, if I cannot hear or understand you, the jury cannot either. ALSO, If you are going to be reading from a document and the Court and other side has a copy, please provide a copy to the court reporter.
Leah Leal has been a court reporter since 2014. She has worked her entire career in the criminal court system starting with County Criminal Court at Law Number 10 – Judge Dan Spjut – and more recently as the court reporter for County Criminal Court at Law Number 13 – judge Raul Rodriguez presiding.
COURT REPORTER TIP – CALL OUT JUROR NUMBERS – During voir dire both the Prosecutors and Defense Attorneys need to make sure to identify each prospective juror by either calling out their NUMBER or having the juror say their NUMBER before speaking.
Krista Hall has been a court reporter since 1995. She worked free-lance for about 12 years then worked the civil courts, CPS and misdemeanor courts. She was with Judge Derbyshire until she landed her spot with Judge Sedrick Walker – County Criminal Court at Law Number 11.
COURT REPORTER TIP – DON’T TRAIL OFF – I would like to see the lawyers speak more confidently with the jurors during voir dire. Sometime lawyers trail off while speaking and I can’t hear what they are saying.
Jennifer Slessinger has been a court reporter since 1975. She worked in the criminal courts for 37 years and the family courts for 7 years. She was the court reporter for County Criminal Court at Law Number 8 – judge Franklin Bynum – before retiring in 2022.
COURT REPORTER TIP – BLUEPRINT OF TRIAL – It would be helpful if the lawyers would give us a blueprint of the trial – meaning a list of all the witnesses with correct spelling of their names and all the exhibits. Also, please do not talk over each other.
Shannon Simmons has been a court reporter since 1997. She was a freelance reporter for twenty-one years, did a year in juvenile court then worked as a court reporter for County Criminal Court at Law Number 10. Now she is with the 496th Criminal District Court, judge Dan Simons presiding.
COURT REPORTER TIP – NO MUMBLING – I would like to see lawyers who are speaking to the jury NOT trail off and mumble (as if they were thinking out loud when speaking.) Enunciate every word loudly and clearly to the audience, please!
Carrie Logan has been a court reporter for over 30 years – almost entirely in felony criminal courts. She worked for judge George Godwin in the 174th for eight years and with judge Susan Brown in the 185th for 20 years. She is now the court reporter for the 185th – judge Andy Beall presiding.
COURT REPORTER TIP – NUMBERS – Please make sure numbers are clarified for the record. For example, Check #522 for $5.22 on 5-22 are all opportunities to confuse the reader and the listener. It’s so helpful to reinforce what the number actually is referencing by stating “Check No. 522, dated May 22, for the amount of five dollars and twenty-two cents.” When speaking of currency, it is helpful to clearly state the dollar amount such as “five dollars and twenty-two cents” OR “five hundred twenty-two dollars.” Although it’s common vernacular to state five twenty-two and context can usually clear it up, it makes for clearer listening and reading.
