Imagine that you work in a veterinary practice and a colleague of yours reported a case of suspected abuse to the police. One year later that colleague has been contacted by the District Attorney's Office and asked to testify in the criminal trial related to that case. Your colleague comes to you for advice on what she should expect and what she needs to do in advance of the trial. What do you tell her? Please be specific and include examples from the module.

Additionally, cite an actual animal cruelty case, that resulted in a conviction, in which a veterinarian did testify. How do you believe the veterinarian's testimony contributed to the guilty verdict?
