Litigation consultation is an expanding practice for forensic practitioners. Mock juries to voir dire to jury decision-making, there are multiple areas for psychologists to use their experience and expertise. The litigation consultant can aid the retaining attorney in developing case theories and drafting talking points for opening statements and closing arguments. It may be helpful for newer litigators to have a consultant for cases that are seldom seen, but create emotional responses within the litigator, the judge, or the jury. When females commit different forms of homicide, each one comes with a different theory as to why the killing was done. This article will begin with a brief literature review on three forms of homicide women commit: filicide, mariticide, and mass murder. There will be a brief literature review on developing and presenting a case theory. The article will examine different trial strategies that can be used by a consultant and if hired by the prosecution or the defense. The motive for killing will be presented in a way that will best serve the trier of fact to render a decision. Studies on female homicide indicated the act challenges assumptions about the role women play in society. These assumptions may either need to be challenged or reinforced depending on the side that hired the consultant but also allow for individual differences based on case specifics and issues of diversity. The article will conclude with a discussion on best practices for both the consultant and the retaining attorney.
