Charged with resisting arrest in Michigan?
| |
When charged with Resisting Arrest in Michigan, we can apply The New Rules of Criminal Defense we need to apply a strategic approach; a series of steps to position our case with the stakeholders as we take a growth mindset approach.
We need to get out of the box and realize that you're not the victim; being charged with a crime is stressful, you're job and life are in flux and could be impacted, and you're afraid of jail time, but you are NOT the victim. To feel sorry for yourself would be to take a fixed mindset, and it is not productive.
We need to change the culture of the case and adopt core values as we work toward complex change. This requires identifying the stakeholders in the case, and for resisting arrest, more focus is put on the police officer, especially if an injury or assault happened. A person charged with resisting arrest needs to realize that not only did you break the law, but now you're alleged to be resisting the law; a double whammy.
We need to create a client balance sheet and adopt the time value of money theory as we get busy on our client value chain of proactive steps. This progress needs to be measured and shared with the court, prosecutor and probation; we need buy-in from the police officer, and work to re-position the client's brand from a law breaker and resister to someone who is humble, and open to learning from the incident.
