Minnesota Juries Can Tell Real Emotion from Fake Emotion. If Its Real, Use It - Video
Watch Jack’s Interview on Court TV
Emotion is powerful. It is powerful for a witness who takes the stand. It is equally powerful for the criminal defense attorney who employs it. That being said, juries can tell the difference between real emotion and fake emotion. If you get it wrong, you could pay a heavy price. If you are facing serious criminal charges in Minnesota, contact an experienced criminal defense attorney.
"Juries can sniff out the real emotion from the fake stuff. If they think you are playing them, they will bury you."
St. Paul criminal defense attorney Jack Rice appears on Court TV on 8/2/22 to discuss emotion, when to use it, how to use it and maybe even when not to use it. It really can be effective but could go very wrong.
"If you do it wrong, a jury will figure it out. Credibility is everything and is always an issue."
If you are facing serious criminal charges and the case is highly charged, how you respond in court can make a difference. It is not about facing it. It is about thinking through how to be your authentic self and how that may be perceived by the jury. It is an important consideration. Talk to an experienced criminal defense attorney.
