When Should a Defendant Take the Stand in their Own Defense - Jack Rice on Court TV to Discuss.
Watch Jack’s Appearance on Court TV
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. This is a Constitutional protection. However, there is always a question about whether a Defendant should take the stand in their own defense. Sometimes, it should be avoided at all cost. Sometimes, you have no choice.

Jack Appears on WCCO Radio to Talk Murder
When Derek Chauvin was charged with murder in Minneapolis by the state of Minnesota, there was always a very real threat of federal prosecution. In fact, Chauvin’s original Attorney was trying to negotiate both sides of that threat from the beginning.
On Tuesday, September 14th, Chauvin entered not guilty pleas to Federal charges along with the other co-defendants. The fear of the Feds should be very real in this case because he and they could face even longer sentences than they would from state charges and it runs consecutive to any state convictions.
Award winning criminal defense attorney Jack Rice appears on WCCO Radio on September 15th the talk murder, Chauvin and what comes next.
A Year After George Floyd Murder, Jack Appears in Middle East TV to Discuss
It was one year ago that an event happened on a street in South Minneapolis. While something liked this has happened in this country for centuries, this one was different for one reason, a cell phone. George Floyd was murdered by Derek Chauvin on the corner of 38th and Chicago in South Minneapolis one year ago today. He wasn’t the first to die at the hands of the police in this country. The difference is that we all were able to watch it at its most brutal and it was harder to look away.
In this year, also the year of COVID, Minneapolis and St. Paul continue to struggle to transform. The “one bad apple” argument has raised its head again and again. It was just these four guys. It is convenient but it is false. It is bigger and broader than that.
I appear on Press TV in the Middle East today on the one year anniversary of George Floyd’s murder to discuss what has happened in the criminal justice system in this country as well as in our society as well. It promises to be a edgy but honest.

Defense Lawyer Jack Rice Talks with WCCO’s Dave Lee about the Latest in the Chauvin Case
As the Derek Chauvin murder trial continues to heat up, besides ongoing jury selection, the real fight is about whether or not a 2019 arrest of George Floyd will ever come into evidence. This issue is really about the cause of death and whether or not the 2019 charge is relevant. Did Chauvin kill Floyd or did Floyd die because of other issues?
Essentially, in 2019, Mr. Floyd was alleged to have drugs in his car. Upon arrest, he was put in the back of a squad car and subsequently, chewed up pills containing fentanyl and methamphetamine as well as Mr. Floyd’s DNA were found in the back of the squad. This is important as the allegations in the 2020 incident include allegations that Mr. Floyd again had drugs in his car and when arrested, actually chewed up drugs at the time as well. Further, he was subsequently found with fentanyl and methamphetamine in his body. Since cause of death is at issue, there is a question about whether the drugs and other issues killed Floyd or whether it was Chauvin. The former is likely the narrative that will be pushed by the Chauvin Defense team. Cahill’s response was that Floyd’s bodily response to ingesting large amounts of drugs may at issue. This isn’t a ruling but we will see.

Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorney Does Local and National Media Coverage of George Floyd Trial
The Derek Chauvin trial (George Floyd) is ramping up here in Minneapolis and local and State official are already ramping up security with an expected 1100 police officers backed up by more than 2000 National Guard. There will certainly be protests but the concern is differentiating between the peaceful & violent. At the same time, consider protestor treatment here versus at the US Capitol. That is clearly also a concern. At the same time, imagine trying to pick a jury amidst the barricades and police and chants for justice. The Chauvin trial is scheduled to begin on March 8th. As a former prosecutor and criminal defense attorney, I’ll be doing a lot of media analysis locally and across the country. Buckle up. It’s going to get bumpy.
