Jack Rice to Analyze High-Profile Wisconsin River Stabbing Trial on WCCO Radio
In an upcoming segment on WCCO Radio, esteemed defense attorney Jack Rice of Jack Rice Defense will offer his professional insights into a gripping legal battle that commenced this Monday. The case centers around a 54-year-old man from Prior Lake, Minnesota, who is standing trial over a tragic incident that occurred in July 2022 on Wisconsin’s Apple River. This anticipated two-week jury trial caught widespread attention due to the severity of the accusations: multiple stabbings that led to the death of a 17-year-old and left four adults injured.
“Jack’s perspective comes from 25 years and arguing criminal cases from the trenches.”
The trial began with jury selection early Monday morning, which concluded just before the noon, setting the stage for opening statements in the afternoon. the defendant faces grave charges including homicide, attempted homicide, and battery, following an altercation that reportedly escalated quickly into violence.
According to prosecutors, the confrontation began when Miu, who was snorkeling in the river purportedly searching for a cell phone, was approached by a group tubing on the river. What started as a verbal altercation turned physical, resulting in the defendant allegedly pulling a knife and attacking several members of the group. Court documents outline a scenario where Miu, after being physically confronted, resorted to using a knife, leading to the tragic outcome.
The Defendant, who has pleaded not guilty to the six charges against him, initially told investigators that he had been attacked and was acting in self-defense. The prosecution, however, aims to demonstrate to the jury that Miu had opportunities to de-escalate the situation or remove himself from it altogether, instead of resorting to violence.
