Behind the Bar — Episode 5: Decisions, Decisions, Decisions

Episode Description

Every criminal case eventually reaches a crossroads.

In Episode 5 of Behind the Bar, criminal defense attorney Keith Johnson takes listeners inside one of the hardest decisions in the justice system: whether to resolve a case through a plea or take the fight to trial.

This episode explores plea negotiations, risk, pressure, strategy, and the responsibility of helping a client decide between certainty and uncertainty. Keith breaks down what really happens behind the scenes when the evidence has been reviewed, the motions have been argued, and the client must choose a path forward.

Because sometimes the most important decision in a criminal case happens before the jury ever walks in.
