Congratulations to Kristina Leslie who last week was named the new Director of the Federal Capital Trial Project. Kristina joins the project in this leadership role after three years of distinguished service as an attorney with the Capital Resource Counsel side of the project. Kristina earned her capital bona fides in the States of Virginia and Maryland in and with the Federal Defender Office in Greenbelt where she represented clients charged with felony cases, including capital murder. She was a fierce advocate against the death penalty in Virginia’s successful abolition of the death penalty, serving as the President of the Board of Directors for Virginians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty.
