Jury Trial vs. Court Trial
Many people assume they’ll have the best outcome with a jury. This is not always the case. For instance, a Virginia jury must recommend an active sentence in many instances. On the other hand, in a judge trial, the judge has the leeway to suspend all or part of most sentences.
The demographics of the local jury pool and attitudes about certain crimes must be taken into account as well. As a Richmond defense attorney, Hugh S. Campbell is the veteran of many criminal trials in Central Virginia. Based on his extensive experience, he will give you honest legal advice about requesting a judge trial, a jury trial or entering a plea agreement as the best avenue for your particular case.
