Jurors are Not Investigators. Make them Passive Observers - Video
Watch Jack’s Interview on Court TV
Minnesota jurors sitting in judgment in Minnesota criminal cases are not investigators. They are not there to "find" evidence. Their job is to evaluate the admissible evidence presented to them and nothing more. A good defense attorney tries to control the spigot and highlight what is missing or why some evidence matters and other evidence doesn't.
“Try to keep demonstrative evidence out of their hands. Does a gun address a question in dispute or it is about makes the jury upset?”
Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorney Jack Rice appears on Court TV on 7/5/22 to discuss guns, juries and what they should or shouldn't get. More importantly, he talks about the juror's role and what they should not be doing.
“A good criminal defense attorney wants a passive jury with their arms cross questioning everything the State claims to be true.”
If you are facing serious criminal charges Minnesota and a jury trial is in your future, sit down with an experienced criminal defense attorney. Trying a case is about more than just asking prosecution witnesses if they are really sure.
“Try to control the spigot.”
