Watch Jack’s Interview on Court TV
Jurors in criminal cases are supposed to be impartial. Victims and family members and their supporters are not. So, when they argue for a certain position, one approach for a criminal defense attorney is to distinguish the role that the jury plays from those people and create as much space between these two groups as possible. If you are facing serious criminal charges in Minnesota, contact an experienced criminal defense attorney.
"Jurors are different than witnesses, alleged victims and their supporters. They have a different role. Make sure they remember it."

Facing serious criminal charges, it is important to understand the limitations of the system in front of you and how to use that same system to your advantage. Jurors can get sucked into the drama and the pain from the allegations. Knowing how to help them create space to do their job is one of the jobs of an experienced criminal defense attorney.
