We've all see people plead the insanity defense on TV and in the movies and it always seems to be successful. However, in real life, it can be far more challenging. One of the reasons is that the standard is extraordinarily high in Minnesota. Another reason is that normally when you are using this defense, you are admitting that the terrible the person is on trial for is something that happened and the guy actually did it. As a result, a jury is strongly inclined to not give him a pass and simply let him walk.

Criminal Defense Attorney Jack Rice appears on Law & Crime to discuss the insanity defense, when and how it works and the circumstances when it is best to employ it. Its complicated and you need to know what your doing to use it. If you are thinking about an insanity defense and you are facing serious criminal charges in St. Paul, Minneapolis or anywhere in Minnesota, you need an experienced criminal defense attorney.
