More Interesting

I am not getting as many readers as I would like so perhaps I should make my posts more interesting or -- what the hell -- make my blog public. Because what I truly crave is not sharing our little adventures with my friends and family but getting attention, adoration and glory. But the problem with going public is my job....and unsavory defendants. For example, I have an Assault trial against a Houstone gangster on Monday and I would hate for his buddies to figure out where I live.... So I think my desire for attention has to be tempered against my desire to remain alive ... in 1 piece. I haven't been blogging about work much because I spend so much time there -- why blog about it on my free time right? But work has been particularly interesting lately. In case you don't know, I am still in misdemeanor court and I should be moving up to felony in the next few months. Then I will REALLY be busy. But I have some juicy misdemeanor trials coming up -- 1. Insurance fraud doctor submitting fake accident injuries, 2. high school teacher/prostitute, 3. frat boy drunk driver hits apt gate, and 4. blonde teen girl drunk driver hits skateboarder ... to name a few. Prosecuting drunks is not as easy as people think. For example, this week the junior prosecutor in my court was got a big NOT GUILTY on a DWI case even though they thought the guy was drunk (he could not say his ABCs on the video....). They did not like the fact that the cop pulled him over for making a wide right turn. Juries want the drunk to hit objects or people first. But even with an accident... and with a breath test ... the jury will hand a lovely Not Guilty out because they don't like punishing people for doing what they do themselves. It's frustrating. Enough work -- blah blah blah -- Jason has Columbus day off so he is here for a nice long weekend. yay!
