In the recent case of State v. Jordan Clark, Mr. Clark was charged in Multnomah County Circuit Court with one count of Murder Professor in the 2nd Degree, and two counts of Attempted Murder. Portland, OR attorney Jason Steen retained Professor Gilbertson as an expert witness in self defense. According to Mr. Steen, Professor Gilbertson’s analysis and trial testimony resulted in Mr. Clark’s acquittal at trial on all counts, as follows: “Professor Gilbertson was well prepared and had clearly given a great deal of thought to his analysis of the discovery in this case. He thoroughly reviewed all reports, surveillance videos, and Oregon case law. His preparation was demonstrated at trial by his solid and unassailable testimony which included use of force analysis and best practices for crime scene preservation. His conclusions were solidly based in law, fact, and common sense. He was unshakeable on the witness stand and made the prosecutor appear desperate and exasperated. Professor Gilbertson traveled from Naples, FL to Portland, OR to insure my indigent client received justice. Jason A Steen, ESQ., Portland, OR.”
