Preparing a Defendant for Jury Trial Includes Preparing their Demeanor - Video
Watch Jack’s Interview on Court TV
Juries watch everything. Sure, they are looking at evidence as it is being presented. However, at the same time, they are looking at the Defendant. They want to know how the Defendant reacts while that very same evidence is being presented. Are they horrified? Sad? Angry? What? All of these issues matter because if they see the Defendant as being calculated or manipulative, that will bleed into their credibility in every other sense.
One job of an experienced criminal defense attorney is to prepare their client for trial and this isn’t just if they testify. It is about how they sit, how they act, how they react, everything.
