Be Prepared for Bad Witnesses to Bring Good Evidence in Minnesota Criminal Trials-Court TV

Watch Jack’s Interview on Court TV

Bad witnesses for the prosecution are nothing new. Sometimes they blow apart on the stand. Sometimes, they come with such baggage that they can't stand up to cross examination. However, there is one thing that you need to be prepared for in Minnesota criminal trials - good evidence.

“Bad witnesses have the potential to present good evidence that can be brutal to the defense. Don’t be surprised by that.”

Bad witnesses have the potential to present good evidence that can be brutal to the defense. The reasons is that it can be independently confirmed and the prosecution will then try to convince the jury to ignore that bad guy who presented it. As important, that approach can work.

Jack Rice appears on Court TV on 3/21/22 to discuss the use of bad witnesses presenting good evidence and the dangers that come from it. If the witness is bad enough, it may not matter what they say. However, it may still be enough.

If you are facing serious criminal charges here in Minnesota and there may be bad witnesses coming at you, make sure you have a seasoned criminal defense attorney by your side. This is not the time to experiment.
