Anatomy of a Murder Trial


Jerrianne Hayslett worked as the Los Angeles Superior Court media liaison during The People vs. O.J. Simpson and had unprecedented access to the trial. Hayslett’s book, Anatomy of a Murder Trial, will be the focus of her presentations for Comm Week. Hayslett is to present the details of the untold story from the most widely followed trial in American history, that involved a double murder, a celebrity defendant, a perjuring witness, and a glove that did not fit. From the detailed journal she kept during the trial, Hayslett exposes audiences to the court-media landscape, anecdotes and commentary from the trial of the century. The trial that judges, lawyers and journalists say changed everything, will be uncovered at Comm Week 2009.

During her tenure with the Los Angeles court, Jerrianne Hayslett dealt with media issues and coordinated media logistics for numerous other high-profile cases, including the Menendez brothers, Heidi Fleiss, Rodney King beating, the O. J. Simpson civil trial and two cases involving Michael Jackson.
Since leaving the court in 2002, Hayslett has worked as a writer and media-relations consultant specializing in national and international court programs and projects.

She assisted with Michael Jackson child-molestation case in Santa Barbara County. Her articles have been published in California Lawyer, Court Manager, Courts Today, NJC Alumni, California County and The Judges' Journal.
