What exactly would a lawyer need to possess in order to prove, and have the right to show the jury that the victim had a medical condition, like post dramatic stress disorder? And what would a lawyer need to prove that their client had lived on a certain lot longer than another neighbor?

- A doctor and some mail or postal history.
- The first part needs 2 things, medical records showing a doctors opinion on the diagnosis, and of course the doctor's opinion. You should be able to get that in discovery, but the patient may need to waive the doctor/patient privileged. The second part just needs a quick search of county records, when real estate is bought the deed is transferred and recorded at the county clerk's office as a matter of public record. So all you'd need there is a copy of the recorded deed showing when the property was last bought.
- He would need to possess a medical professional that could testify to that. Usually lawyers, in the course of preparing for a case, will decide what kind of, if any, professionals they need to testify to specific criteria. For example, in a a gun case, the lawyer may need to track down a ballistics expert to testify that a bullet could have or could not have behaved a certain way during the act of the crime in question. In your case, the lawyer needs to find a specialist (doctor) who deals in the specific area dealling with whatever it is that you need the doctor to testify TO. Get it?
- documents and/or witnesses attesting to those facts, and relevance to the case at hand to introduce them.
- You would need to get the person's medical records and maybe testimony from their doctor. By the way, it's post TRAUMATIC stress disorder :o) For the second one, you would need the title deeds if they owned the properties, or the lease agreements.
- If either are renters utility records maybe needed as they would not own the property.
