Criminal Case Approach – Attorney Carl David Ceder

Every criminal case is different, and every situation unique. The first thing to understand is there are only three ways to dispose of a criminal case – from the level of a traffic ticket, all the way up to a murder charge. The charge can be dismissed, you can enter into a “plea bargain” agreement with the District Attorney, or you can decide to have a Judge or a (Jury of your peers) decide whether you are “Guilty” or “Not Guilty” of the charges alleged against you. I find the best method to employ as an approach to try and obtain optimal results, is from the very beginning –try your best to analyze, HYPOTHETICALLY – WHAT CAN THE STATE PROVE AT TRIAL? Often, (AND THIS IS THE SAD TRUTH) it matters little what the truth is – what matters most, however, is what can the state prove at trial.

The reality is witnesses can lie, police officers can quit, some testimony may or may not be more credible than others, the DA may realize they have a possible hole in their case in legally proving it up at trial – and so considering all of this, it doesn’t necessarily matter what the truth is, all this information leads to considering what will happen AT TRIAL. If you start to analyze this from the very beginning, and then you work your way backward, I firmly believe a criminal defense attorney will realize their best chance scenario of success. It is easy for DA’s to give “plea” bargain offers – it is an entirely different situation when they are forced to actually prove their case at trial by convincing a Judge or a Jury that the evidence obtained supports Guilt.

It is important then, to have a criminal defense attorney who has the ability, and experience, to successfully advocate at trial settings. That is not to say EVERY case will result in a jury trial, because in fact, MOST will not – but in my opinion, for maximum results, I find it best to approach a case in analyzing the evidence of what will happen if the case does proceed to trial…And then work your way backward. You can then understand and better assess what an appropriate plea bargain is in lieu of trial, and if the DA assigned to your case is not willing to give an appropriate recommendation with their offer to you as a plea bargain, if you have already analyzed the weight of the evidence and chance of success of prevailing at trial – you are in a much better position to consider alternate scenarios, OTHER THAN trial, by utilizing this tactic.
