Poverty in Paradise: Stop Sacrificing the Children

July 28, 2007 - Just returning from the jungles of the Sierra Mountains in Mexico, Stevee Ashlock, entrepreneur and humanitarian, has completed her thirteenth voyage to help the under privileged children and families of the Puerto Vallarta area in the Jalisco region. “Women and children have always been dear to my heart,” Ashlock acknowledges. “I hate to the suffering that poverty causes, such as, lack of education, health problems, housing difficulties and safety issues.”

On this trip, Ashlock was accompanied by her parents, who have made numerous precious trips in the past to assist. Several organizations benefit from the efforts of Ashlock and her parents: Casa Hogar Orphanage, The Mojoneras Salvation Army, Casa Infantil Mojoneras and DIF.

Because the fund raising and collection of supplies is a constant effort, this becomes a year long effort. Ashlock confirms, “Each year, we return with a new vision to accomplish in order to cover the needs that we have seen while in Puerta Vallarta.”

Casa Infantil Mojoneras is in desperate need of laptop computers, new or used. Their immediate goal is to set up a computer lab to teach the neighborhood children how to use computer so they can secure better jobs. Many of these children’s families are too poor to send them to public school. Along with teaching English, computer skills are the most vital resource needed for the children to break the chains of poverty. Ashlock proclaims, “The odds may be against them, but they have determined little spirits that want to excel!”

Casa Hogar Orphanage is an independent orphanage that is privately supported by donations only. They do not receive any government assistance. Visits to the Casa Hogar Orphanage are the highlights on Ashlock’s agenda. “We especially enjoy seeing the children each year. Many of them are the same, and they remember us. I love to hold the babies in the nursery. They are all so precious,” Ashlock confesses. “Although, I look forward the most to throwing the kids a pizza party each year. That is a wonderful photo opportunity for watching everyone enjoy themselves.”

The Salvation Army teaches Christianity principles to the local Mojoneras children. Additionally, they play games, assist with the children’s school work and hold English classes. They are solely supported by outside donations. “The parents in the community definitely appreciate the family guidance offered by Salvation Army,” Ashlock states.
“They really care about the kids, and it shows!”

“Donations are always put to go use, especially monetary contributions,” Ashlock earnestly appeals. “We prioritize the needs and focus on where we are able to do to make a difference.” If you are interesting in more information or lending a helping hand, please contact Stevee Ashlock at Stevee@StoneybrookProductions.net.
 
 
Forensic Experts Need To Know More Than Computers To Be An Expert Witness

July 28, 2007 - International speaker and business coach, Stevee Ashlock, has been commissioned to co-author, “Techno Security Guide to E-Discovery and Digital Forensics.” It is being published by Syngress Publication, a division of Elsevier, Inc. The book is scheduled to be released at the 2007 Techno Forensic Conference in Gaithersburg, Maryland, October 29-31, 2007. Ashlock is currently billed a keynote speaker at the conference and will be available for book signings.

A recent newcomer to the cyber crime and computer forensic field, Ashlock has found an untouched niche. She teaches expert witnesses how to present their evidence and testimony in an effective manner where jury members can understand the necessary information needed to make a solid decision. “It is vital for an expert witness to establish credibility from the moment they step foot in the courtroom,” Ashlock declares. “A first impression is conceived within the first three seconds. This is long before the expert witness even has a chance to speak!”

Ashlock was a guest speaker at the 2007 CyberCrime Summit at Kennesaw State University in Kennesaw, Georgia, this past spring. She delivered an informative, intense, but humorous, keynote lecture to her audiences. Attendees consisted mainly of FBI, GBI, law enforcement, government agencies and computer forensic specialists. Ashlock is confirmed as a guest speaker for the 2008 CyberCrime Summit, March 17-21, 2008.

In early June, Ashlock wowed her audience again at the Techno Security Conference in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. While there, she was asked to video tape a preview segment for the Techno Security website. It can be seen at http://www.Techno2007.com. Jack Wiles, director of Techno Security, has extended an invitation for Ashlock to join the speaker agenda for the 2007 Techno Forensic Conference in Gaithersburg, Maryland, October 23-31, 2007, and the 2008 Techno Security Conference in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, June 1-4, 2008.

Evidence Indicated Accused Wrongfully Charged for Kidnapping and Rape

Atlanta, Georgia, July 27, 2007 - Stevee Ashlock was recently retained by Roddrick Mayberry as the Trial Consultant for his pending trial in Gwinnett County, Georgia. Mayberry’s trial is set for docket in mid-August. Mayberry is being held without bond for kidnapping and rape charges stemming from an arrest over a year ago. Criminal defense attorney, Leah Davis Maddson, resides over the Mayberry case with the assistance of the well-acclaimed criminal defense attorney, Dennis Schieb.

Ashlock owns The Trial Experts, a trial consulting business in Atlanta, Georgia. As a trial consultant, she thoroughly studies the case in detail by reviewing the Grand Jury indictment, witness and victim statements, police reports, crime scene reports and any evidence. Then she meticulously prepares the specific Voire Dire questions for jury selection.

During the jury selection process, Ashlock will carefully study each potential juror to determine who she would prefer to sit in the jury box. She must select the best twelve, plus an alternate. Ashlock declares, “I search out those who have an open mind and can listen to both sides of the story without prejudice. Fairness, honesty and common sense are the three most important components for a good jury member. Ethnicity, sex or age do not play a major factor in my recommendation.”

Throughout the trial, Ashlock will observe the jury’s reaction to the witnesses and their testimonies. She will look for inconsistencies and discrepancies in the testimonies given. Ashlock discloses that there is substantial evidence indicating that Mayberry has been wrongfully and inappropriately charged. “Most cases are very interesting and have numerous factors involved, but are not too difficult to figure out the truth of what happened based on the evidence,” Ashlock claims. “It is the jury that has the power to control the outcome of the trial. Therefore, the defendant rests their life in the jury’s hands!”
