high-profile case usually what that

means is there’s been a lot of media

attention to the case that can taint the

jury pool or just cause a lot of

emotional distress for a case my normal

approach to a case like that is to make

it not a high profile case anymore and

that is we don’t make statements to the

media I’ve gone so far as to reschedule

hearings so that the media doesn’t know

about them and we appear in court on a

day when the media isn’t there to cover

what happened I have many strategies for

avoiding media contact which is what

makes a case a high profile case and I

think it serves my clients better to not

have a lot of media attention about

their case

Denver, CO criminal defense attorney David Lindsey discusses his approach to handling high-profile CO criminal cases. He explains that in a high-profile case, typically characterized by significant media attention, it is crucial to mitigate the negative impact it can have on the jury pool and the emotional well-being of the case. My approach in such cases is to de-escalate the high-profile nature by refraining from making statements to the media. I have even gone as far as rescheduling hearings to avoid media coverage, ensuring court appearances on days when the media is not present. I employ various strategies to minimize media contact, as excessive media attention can be detrimental to my clients’ best interests. By reducing media exposure, I believe I can better serve my clients and their cases.
