Establishing a Defendant's Credibility is Job One in Minnesota Criminal Trials- Court TV Video
Watch Jack’s Interview on Court TV
While there are many priorities when trying a case in front of a Minnesota jury, one of the most important priorities is building up a Defendant’s credibility. This can be done with other witnesses but it can also be done by the client themselves. Opening up and laying all of their cards out shows a level of honesty and it takes away the ability of the prosecution to bury your client with things by presenting your client themselves. In the end, it is about believability and putting your client in the best light possible for a Not Guilty verdict. If you are facing serious criminal charges in Minnesota, contact an experienced criminal defense attorney.
“If a jury doesn’t believe what your client says, then the rest of the preparation may not make any difference. It is all about credibility.”
Criminal Defense Attorney Jack Rice appears on Court TV on 5/16/22 to discuss the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard Trial. Jack looks at Johnny's willingness to admit fault and his own limitations versus Heard's inability to admit any responsibility at all. In this circumstance, he gains credibility and she loses it.
If credibility matters in your case in Minnesota, and it always matters, make sure you sit down with a criminal defense attorney. Talk about how you can address this important issue and how your attorney can help you do it.
