In Minnesota Criminal Trials, the Defense Should Control the Courtroom - Video
Watch Jack’s Interview on Court TV
When trying a criminal case before a jury in Minnesota, there is a constant fight going on, even if the jury doesn't see it. That fight is about control. When we are talking about control, it is really about controlling the courtroom as a whole. As a Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorney, my goal is to always try to control the courtroom. I know the Judge thinks it is theirs but I disagree. It is mine and my client and I want it. This is our opportunity to tell our story and the make this jury our own so we are going to take it.
“The Judge may not like it. The prosecutor may not like. However, my goal is to always own that courtroom.”
Jack Rice appears on Court TV on 3/14/22 to discuss control courtroom, demeanor and exactly who should be in control. It isn't obvious but it is certainly worth the fight. If you are facing serious criminal charges in Minnesota, make sure that the criminal defense attorney by your side wants that control.
