When Testifying in Minnesota Criminal Court, Don't Shy Away from Bad Stuff - Court TV Video
Watch Jack’s Interview on Court TV
Its human nature to focus on the good things when we talk about ourselves. We want to be seen in the best possible light, especially if people are judging us. It is equally human nature for us to ignore the bad stuff because who wants to look bad?. This is exactly what Amber Heard is doing as she is testifying in her trial against Johnny Depp. The problem is denying the negative, especially when it is verifiable and likely true, not only cuts away at credibility but can make a jury doubt everything. What is incredibly important is actually leaning into it. This bears repeating: Lean into it. If you are facing serious criminal charges in Minnesota, contact an experienced criminal defense attorney.
"A good cross examination can tear apart anybody who is unwilling to acknowledge fault. Lean into it. If you don’t, a good cross can cut away at your credibility at the edges of testimony and it can make a jury doubt the core. This is critical."
Criminal Defense Attorney Jack Rice appears on Court TV on 5/17/22 to discuss the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial. Specifically, Jack discusses Amber Heard's testimony and her apparent inability to admit responsibility when it is due.
"Don't fight the small stuff. It will just hurt you."
If you are facing serious criminal charges in Minnesota, it is really important to not try to go this alone. Make sure that you have an experienced Minnesota criminal defense attorney by your side.
