Jack Rice on Court TV Discussing Why Depp Testimony is So Important.
Johnny Depp is a super star. Johnny Depp is an A-lister. Johnny Depp is not like us. I’ve been hearing this now for weeks. The problem is that it is not true, at least not completely true and not when he is in this courtroom. It will always exist but it is critical that he is humanized and that people will see the world and his experiences through his eyes. They need to see him as more than this. His taking the stand is all about that.

How Much Can a Co-Defendant Hurt Your Case - Court TV
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.

When somebody is charged with the crime, the Prosecutors have the burden of proof. As result, a Defendant doesn’t have to testify. The State has to prove their case.

Sometimes, you have no choice.

Talk to the Police. St. Paul Criminal Defense. - Video
Watch Jack’s Appearance on Court TV
Jack Rice appeared on Court TV to discuss a double homicide case and what happens when a suspect sits down with a police officer. Let’s just say that it doesn’t end well.
Police officers are highly trained in interrogations. This means that you may not even realize that you are being played until after it is over. Along the way, they will lie to you, tell you stories, change their stories, tell you things they have that they don't and even tell you told them things that you never did. They are actually trained to do this.
If you are a suspect in a crime or even if the police just want to talk, you need a criminal defense attorney at your side. The police frequently are playing the long game. They are trying to lock in a story so they can then start picking that story apart. It also locks a suspect into that story when nobody, including the police themselves, do not have the facts. Generally speaking, nothing good comes from that.
