Watch Jack’s Interview on Court TV

An opening statement in a criminal case can really set the stage for everything that is to come. It not only tells the jury what is to come but how they should look at the evidence as it is being presented. This can be especially powerful when there are holes in the States case and you want the jury to see them as the evidence is presented. If you are facing serious charges in Minnesota, make sure you sit down with an experienced criminal defense attorney and Board Certified Criminal Law Specialist.

“If you create the world, the prosecutor has to operate in it. That is a lot harder to do.”

St. Paul criminal defense attorney and nationally known trial lawyer appears on Court TV on 8/17/22 to discuss jury trials and opening statements. This is not something you fake and hope you catch on. Doing it over and over for years is only part of the answer.

“Its not just what is coming for the jury to see. It is how they should look at it. The distinction is everything.”

Some cases are destined for trial and should be tried. Some cases go to trial because there were things that were missed early on that could have made all of the difference. It takes an experienced criminal defense attorney to know the difference.
