While Credibility is Always Important to a Minnesota Criminal Jury, Authenticity May Matter More - Court TV Video.
Watch Jack’s Interview on Court TV
Trial work requires a strange skillset. Thinking about the various skills needed, credibility is always one of the them. Its important that a jury think that an attorney knows what they are doing. It simply makes them more believable. This is obvious, right? Authenticity is actually slightly different. Authenticity is more personal and more about letting the jury see who you really are. It gives them a peek behind the curtain. The purpose is so they see your humanity, your desire, your intention. Again, like credibility, it is all about helping these people accept, to believe.
“It takes a light touch as a criminal defense attorney to show who you are. Its not about you but your client. However, creating this aura of authenticity for both of you matters.”
St. Paul, Minnesota based criminal defense attorney Jack Rice appears on Court TV on 6/27/22 to discuss credibility and authenticity and why they matter so much. This discussion was not meant to be too philosophical but these issues really matter to a jury.
If you are facing serious criminal charges in Minnesota, find an experienced criminal defense attorney. This takes time and ongoing effort.
“Facts always matter. Sometimes you are stuck with these. How you deliver them and how you present yourself is something you can control.”
