TH, your post just made me throw up.
That isn’t an indictment on your post — it is acknowledgment of its stark frankness. Anyone who reads your account DOESN’T throw up is of pretty indifferent stuff.
What say you, counselor Clump? I know you fill an important role, but how can you traverse the distance from the abject to the reality?
Do you throw up when you see what your clients have done, as in this case?
Or, if you win on a legal technicality and a 13 month old child’s death and whose head became a smear on the road goes without recourse, do you and your client go to the nearby bar and clink a glass of scotch?
No those cases really bother me. Everybody is entitled to a defense and I do my best.
But I never get numb to the harsh realities of the cases. And the only time I celebrate in my job is when a client pays on time.
I was a prosecutor but hated working for the government. Plus I wanted more money.
The defense bar in town is actually more conservative than the DAs office.
