Cultural Defenses in Sexual Assault Cases

In this powerful and human-centered presentation, Christopher Wellborn explores how cultural background can provide a compelling lens for juries to view clients accused of sexual assault. Acknowledging that “cultural defenses” are not legally recognized, Wellborn shows how storytelling, context, and cultural history can be used to help jurors see the person—not just the allegation. Through thoughtful trial techniques and narrative strategy, he demonstrates how to introduce empathy, dismantle bias, and reframe the facts in ways that resonate with a jury’s sense of fairness. This session equips defense attorneys with tools to advocate for their clients as whole human beings, even in the most emotionally charged cases.
