Partner content: this clip features Max Miner, a pretrial mitigator and CEO of Executive Treatment Solutions (@executivetreatmentsolutions), speaking on the Juice Unlocked podcast.
Miner described a client he says was driving drunk over the Vincent Thomas Bridge when he lost control of his BMW and hit a CHP officer who was outside his car clearing an earlier crash. According to Miner, the officer spent three weeks in the ICU and his career ended. "They wanted eight years on that case," Miner says, and the case closed with two years of probation.
Juice Unlocked has not independently reviewed the case. Miner did not name the client, the officer or the court.
What a mitigator does
Mitigation specialists work as part of a defense team. According to West Virginia Public Defender Services, they research a client's background and write a report for the judge that focuses on the person, not just the offense, often connecting clients to substance abuse or mental health programs.
“They wanted eight years on that case. We got him two years probation.”
