Denver, CO criminal defense attorney David Lindsey discusses his approach to handling high-profile CO criminal cases. He mentions that in a so-called high-profile case, the label usually stems from extensive media attention, which can taint the jury pool or create unnecessary emotional stress around the matter. His typical approach in such situations is to take deliberate steps to remove the spotlight and make the case less of a media event.
He avoids making statements to the press and, in some instances, even reschedules hearings to ensure the media is not present to cover the proceedings. He emphasizes that he employs numerous strategies to limit media involvement, as it is often the media presence itself that transforms a case into a high-profile matter. In his view, his clients are best served when their cases proceed without excessive public exposure or unnecessary attention.
