Winning feels good

Despite the lack of decent clothing (see previous) I got a not-guilty on my last trial. It was short, but tiring, and it felt good. Facing a life sentence, but he walked out of jail a free man. He's heading to technical school to be a mechanic and said he's done hanging with the wrong crowd. I hope that's true because they really set him up for some serious stuff....

I am a Trial Attorney

I just finished my first trial.


My client started the day facing two accusations and ten charges. After directed verdict I got them down to eight charges. After deliberating for an hour and 15 minutes they returned a verdict..... acquittal on two charges and convictions on the remaining six.


I'm counting it as a win, but it still stings. I'll have to recap more later. I just got home and need a nap.
