Self-Defense Can Be an Extraordinarily Powerful Tool in Minnesota Criminal Cases - Court TV Video
Watch Jack’s Interview on Court TV
Self-Defense in Minnesota Criminal Courts is called an affirmative defense. In other words, the defense has the obligation to prove that self defense happened or at least there is sufficient evidence to establish self defense. That being said, once that burden is met, the case can turn into something fundamentally different. It is not just about gender or size or race. It can be about motive and history and more. More importantly, it can drive a jury to really question blanket statements made by Minnesota prosecutors.
Jack Rice appears on Court TV on 2/28/22 with Judge Ashley Willcott to discuss the Reeves murder trial but really the power of self-defense and "stand your ground." If you are facing criminal charges and self-defense may be an issue, sit down with an experienced criminal defense attorney to discuss self-defense and how it may play into your criminal defense.
