Earlier this month, Keller Criminal Defense Attorneys won the dismissal of yet another serious traffic case on behalf of one of our clients who was wrongfully accused. Max A. Keller’s criminal defense client was charged with Careless/Reckless Driving for allegedly throwing a pop can at another vehicle that had cut him off, in a road rage dispute. After careful research and persuasion, Hennepin County Criminal defense attorney Max A. Keller showed the prosecutor from the Minneapolis City Attorney’s Office that the driver of the car that cut off his client was equally to blame. As a result, the charge against Keller’s client was reduced from the serious charge of Reckless driving down to an ordinance fine of littering with a $50 fine.
A Santa Clara University study shows that over one million people in Minnesota have criminal records. In Minneapolis alone, 5,713 crimes are reported annually within an area of 100,000 residents. These criminal cases require the defendants to present evidence challenging the prosecutor's narrative. So, when does the defense present evidence in a criminal case? Your defense team presents evidence at the trial phase right after the prosecution team completes outlining the facts it intends to prove and how its evidence will prove you guilty.
