Harris County Criminal Defense
When fighting the government on behalf of clients, Houston criminal lawyer James Sullivan often faces prosecutors who will not change their minds no matter how illogical or unreasonable their theory of the case seems. Much like what happened to Amanda Knox in Perugia Italy, there are prosecutors in some cases that just continue to hold on to their untenable theories even when physical evidence and testimonial evidence do not support it.
Prosecutors take an oath to see that justice is done. Justice frequently requires that criminal case be dismissed. When prosecutors do not see the light and dismiss the case, then good defense lawyers take the case to a jury trial.
Faced with the choice between changing one’s mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof. -John Kenneth Galbraith, economist (1908-2006)
