Ryan McKaig, Criminal Defense
22 views2/23/2024
Few Americans understand how serious a "seemingly minor" conviction can be. It places you on the police's radar... and if you get a couple more, suddenly they view as a criminal.
You do not want ANY convictions of your record.
Attorney Ryan McKaig has almost 20 years experience in the defense business, and knows all the tricks prosecutors try to use.
Don't be a victim. Call the attorney that treats every case as a serious case.
Ryan McKaig.

| 00:00 - 00:05 | So I had a client charged for an open container... |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | ... not drunk, just open container. |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | I got the officer on the stand, |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | and said, "Where's the can? Under your shirt?" |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | He said, "I threw it away." |
| 00:21 - 00:24 | So no evidence? |
| 00:29 - 00:31 | None! |
| 00:31 - 00:34 | I said, "I need it analyzed." |
| 00:38 - 00:40 | "For alcohol." |
| 00:41 - 00:47 | "What experts will you be using for that? To do a molecular analysis? |
| 00:47 - 00:50 | A team from the Mayo Clinic? |
| 00:50 - 00:56 | Yeah, just give me their names. |
| 00:58 - 00:59 | I'll shoot 'em a text. |
| 00:59 - 01:01 | Maybe an email! |
| 01:04 - 01:06 | The Judge said-- |
| 01:06 - 01:08 | "Mr McKaig... Basis?" |
| 01:13 - 01:14 | I said, "Nothing big." |
| 01:14 - 01:16 | Just the 4th F'N Amendment! |
| 01:16 - 01:20 | Maybe you've heard of it? |
| 01:21 - 01:27 | Heard of chain of custody? How do we know it's my client's can? |
| 01:35 - 01:36 | My guy's gonna walk! |
| 01:36 - 01:39 | So, I grabbed my briefcase... |
| 01:41 - 01:44 | Said, "If there's nothing else," |
| 01:44 - 01:47 | I'm going to take my client to a bar, |
| 01:47 - 01:49 | and open a few containers ourselves. |
| 01:50 - 01:53 | Prosecutor said, "This is highly irregular." |
| 01:54 - 01:56 | Said, "This ain't England." |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | There's no KING here. |
| 01:58 - 02:02 | I know it's weird, but we have ACTUAL rights. |
| 02:05 - 02:07 | Swear! |
| 02:10 - 02:11 | Then... |
| 02:11 - 02:13 | Then... |
| 02:15 - 02:17 | I said "Remember OJ?" |
| 02:17 - 02:20 | I'm the new Johnny Cochran! |
| 02:21 - 02:28 | "If the can can't be found, you have no legal ground!" |
| 02:29 - 02:30 | You're lying. |
| 02:30 - 02:32 | Oh, I said it! |
| 02:36 - 02:39 | The Prosecutor said, "Dammit!" |
| 02:40 - 02:42 | "The officer smelled the can!" |
| 02:50 - 02:55 | OK. Is your nose expert ready to testify?" |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | Did your clients walk? |
| 02:58 - 03:04 | I'm Ryan McKaig. What do you think? NOT GUILTY, of course. |
| 03:04 - 03:09 | I got in the car, and drove to my next case. |
| 03:09 - 03:11 | It was a speeding ticket. |
| 03:16 - 03:20 | I said... |
| 03:23 - 03:26 | Let's save time and just let my client go. |
| 03:31 - 03:36 | And the Judge said, "Case dismissed." |
