Watch Jack’s Interview on Court TV
There are so many issues to consider when goings to trial. While it is usually factual, sometimes the offer by the prosecutor is so bad that you might as well or their are facts that will come out that could result in a better sentence from the Judge even of they are found guilty. This actually happens. If you are facing a complex criminal case in Minnesota, sit down with an experienced criminal defense attorney.
“Extenuating facts that only come out at trial could actually drive a Court to sentence better than the State would ever offer.”
Jack Rice appears on Court TV on 7/11 to discuss those kinds of cases where it might be in the Client's best interest to try a case even if they may very well be found guilty. Sometimes, there are facts the prosecutor just can't seem to understand or odd facts that the Judge should hear. This actually happens.
“The State’s case is never better than the complaint and all sorts of things can happen as they try to put it into evidence.”
Facing criminal charges in Minnesota and the State may have a lot of evidence, there may still be reasons to go to trial. It is more than just hoping that the State will mess up during the trial and fail in their burden. A good criminal defense attorney can look at all sides and advise you.
