Denver, CO criminal defense attorney Michael Sheehan discusses the biggest challenges he faces in CO sex crime cases. He observes that sex crime cases are highly emotional. Jurors called to hear these cases often feel strong sympathy for the alleged victim and may begin with some prejudice against the defendant. Part of his role as an attorney is to guide the jurors to set aside sympathy and bias, approach the case clinically, and ensure the defendant has a full and fair opportunity to present his side. He works to remove the emotion from the proceedings so that the jury can reach a just and impartial verdict.
