Many things can hurt you in a criminal jury trial in Minnesota. Sometimes it is forensic evidence. Sometimes, it is statements that you yourself gave. One piece of evidence that should never be forgotten is that power of co-defendant testimony. The power of a co-defendant’s testimony to sink your case cannot be overestimated. This is especially true if the State can convince your co-defendant to flip on you. In other words, the impact of the co-defendant testifying against you in return for a plea deal from the State has the potential to be catastrophic.

Jack Rice appears on Court TV on 3/14/22 to discuss criminal law, criminal charges and the power of co-defendants in jury trials. Jack’s experience in this area comes from working in criminal courtrooms for decades.
