A Defendant's Willingness to Testify in Minnesota Criminal Trials Can Change Everything - Court TV
Watch Jack’s Interview Court TV
Who call tell a better story? Who can tell of more cohesive story? Who can tell a more compelling story. Telling a story requires an insider's view. Frequently, this may require the person charged with the crime to testify. Of course, this also comes with substantial risks of their own. However, there are absolutely times when the reward substantially outweighs the risks. The reward may include pivoting the jury to look back and reconsider some of the evidence the State presented as fact to see that it is only fiction.
“The goal is always of pivoting the jury to reconsider fact as fiction and maybe even fiction as fact.”
Jack Rice appears on Court TV on 3/2/22 to talk about the value of witness testimony and specifically Defendant testimony. Again, the risks are real but sometimes they are necessary. If you are facing criminal charges in St. Paul or elsewhere in Minnesota, talk to your criminal defense attorney about whether testifying makes sense in your case.
