Watch Jack’s Interview on Court TV
When somebody is charged with a crime in Minnesota, they have the right to take the stand in their own defense but are not obligated to do so. There are absolutely times when, strategically, it makes no sense. You potentially open yourself up to cross examination in a way that could really hurt you. On the other hand, there are times when the jury needs to hear some things and the only person who can provide the information is the Defendant themselves. If you are facing charges, contact an experienced Minnesota criminal defense attorney.
