#Pleading #5th #Guilty #FifthAmendment #KnowYourRights
In jury selection, how does a good lawyer ensure they find the right jurors for a trial? They make sure they understand everyone is innocent until proven guilty!
Something that our team does is we ask people what they think about when someone uses their constitutional right to remain silent. I often use the example of mafia movies where the lawyer is telling them to be quiet so they don’t incriminate themselves. Many people think of exactly this scenario when someones pleads the fifth. But, in real life, people are just invoking their rights as citizens of the United States. When jurors think people are guilty for just using their rights, the defendant doesn’t have a fair chance.

I have heard that silence is golden in the courtrooms.
You could tell them the story of Texas v. Michael Morton, or Virginia v. Julius Ruffin, or Massachusetts v. Louise Woodward. All of them were convicted, falsely, based mainly on them telling the truth to police officers who mistakenly suspected them.
How many times do you have to say this. ?
What? Are the judges jury instructions not enough? Lol
What the hell are you talking about? Our justice system is broken and I think you know it. Just look at the Trump case in new York, no victim, no harm, no laws broken and they want to take his property? The law only works for Democrats, women, and blacks.
Did I miss something because it sounds to me like you just convinced the jury that your guy was a gangster…
Yeah will leftist judges are insane at this point.
