\nSNT Counsel, the AI litigation platform from SNT Labs, gave the defense team continuous command of the pre-trial discovery and the full trial record \u2014 from venire to verdict. The platform was deployed throughout a closely watched Miami vessel-homicide trial that ended June 22 in a unanimous acquittal on both counts.<\/i><\/p>
MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SNT Counsel, the AI litigation platform from SNT Labs, gave a Miami defense team continuous, real-time trial support throughout one of the year\u2019s most closely watched cases. The State of Florida charged George Pino with vessel homicide and manslaughter after he crashed his 29-foot motorboat into a navigational marker, killing one teenage girl and permanently paralyzing another. The defense argued from the start that the incident was an accident and not a crime. On June 22, the jury agreed.<\/p>
\nAs long as there have been trials, the quality of a trial team\u2019s presentation has been limited by the number of lawyers and the amount of time each could allocate to a case. SNT Counsel vastly expands those limits by providing the trial team with an AI tool that exponentially increases its productivity. SNT Counsel provides total recall of every word in the record, instant retrieval of relevant information, and a running model of where the case is heading. The judgment remains with the humans.<\/p>
\nHere is what the platform delivers through a closed system in which every output is grounded in the record and cited to its source \u2014 so it does not hallucinate:<\/p>
\nEvery legal decision, examination, argument, and strategic call remains where it belongs, in the hands of trial counsel. The Pino trial sets the standard for effectively using AI tools in high-stakes litigation.<\/p>
\nVeteran criminal defense attorney Howard Srebnick of Black Srebnick led the Pino trial team. He commented: \u201cSNT Counsel made the pre-trial discovery and the entire trial record instantaneously accessible with insightful analysis. We used this information to develop themes for jury selection, formulate outlines and produce exhibits for witness examinations, track the testimony and evidence as it was admitted during trial, and identify inconsistencies in the State\u2019s case so that we could confidently confront upcoming witnesses. At the close of each trial day, the tool provided concise, neatly organized, and easily digestible summaries. By closing argument, SNT Counsel had catalogued the key moments at trial, with direct quotes and citations to the record, and synthesized talking points and arguments supporting the defense theory. With the information and reports at the ready, we efficiently strategized how to be more effective and persuasive in the courtroom. We ultimately made every call, but with added confidence that all relevant information was in hand. I plan to have SNT Counsel at my fingertips in every case that I try.\u201d<\/p>
