When Defending in a Criminal Trial, Make Sure You Give the Jury One Story - Video.
Watch Jack’s Interview on Court TV
When facing a jury in criminal cases in Minnesota and around the country, the jury is generally trying to come up with the right answer. Frequently, they are looking for any answer that seems to make sense. Frankly, this isn't the standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt but there it is. So, when defending a client, it is critical to present a better narrative, a better story, than the one presented by the prosecutor. If you are facing serious criminal charges in Minnesota, make sure you sit down with an experienced criminal defense attorney.
"The space between your reasonable story and the state's reasonable is called one thing, Reasonable Doubt."
Jack Rice, a St. Paul based Board Certified Criminal Defense Attorney appears on Court TV with Judge Ashley Willcott to discuss alternative theories of a case and how to approach each. This is certainly about strategy but also about jury psychology. If you are facing charges and the facts seem like they are all over the place, it is important think about the undisputed facts, what the jury will grab onto. Use this and move from this place. An experienced criminal attorney can help.
"He who tells the best story wins."
