Criminal trials in Minnesota sometimes feel like combat. It is about how the defense presents their case versus how the prosecutor presents their case. It is not supposed to be a horse race but jurors sometimes see it like that. With that in mind, when the prosecutor makes a mistake and starts digging a hole for themselves, let them. Sit down with an experienced Minnesota criminal defense attorney for how to approach your case.
"When the prosecutor starts digging a hole, get out of the way and let them."
Minnesota criminal defense attorney Jack Rice appears on Court TV in Atlanta on 9/12/22 with Judge Ashley Willcott to discuss opening statements, why they matter so much and what happens when the prosecution starts making mistakes. It can set up the entire trajectory of the trial.
