And this one here, is a very difficult one to deal with. Can you ever switch in a case?”
Spencer Freeman – Criminal Defense Attorney – Pierce County, WA
“No. The criminal defendant and the defense attorney have no ability to dictate what prosecutor’s handling the case.”

I do know that I’ve got some prosecutors, that if I see is on the other side of the case, I know I’m likely having to end up trying the case. Because we’re never going to be able to have a conversation about mitigation at all. And a lot of time, that happens in cases where gangs are part of the case.”
