Standing in front of a jury is a really interesting and unusual exercise. For many years and dozens and dozens of trials, I used to think of it as an effort to find people who would find your client not guilty. Even more, I tried to limit to impact of others saying things I didn’t want to hear. I was wrong.

“When I’m picking a jury, I’m hunting.”

As I stand before a group of potential jurors now, I know what I’m looking for. I’m hunting. What is my theory, what is my theme? I then think about people who see the world in this similar way. This way, when I say something, people will viscerally agree.

Prosecutors love to use if is they can get it. It is called rebuttal testimony and it is designed to respond to the Defense’s case in a criminal trial and introduce additional evidence in order to respond to it. The reason they love it so much is that it is about bookending the Defense’s case. You address every issue and then respond to every question after the Defense pokes holes in the state’s case.

As a Minnesota criminal defense attorney, it is critical that they state maintain the burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that anybody charged with a crime is guilty.
