Check out the Case Law limiter below the search box!

Also Consider:

Where did your trial take place? Check local news agencies for coverage of the trial. There could be videos and/or transcripts available offering valuable information.
If your case was "big" enough, it may have also been covered by a true crime show. Some examples include Dateline, 20/20, 48 Hours and Forensic Files.
If your case/trial ended up being a wrongful conviction, check out The Innocence Project or The National Registry of Exonerations, organizations dedicated to investigating and fighting wrongful convictions
