Oh, wait, you don't. My bad.
I had a trial today that ended with my client losing. It was hard and sad for a number of reasons. But at least I learned some new things. For instance, I learned that I offend people. In various ways.
Let's take the jury, for example. When you select a jury you start out with a lot of people, ask them questions, and end with 12 people. So we ask our questions, and then the people who are not ultimately chosen leave. My friend Tom, who is a DA, was in the audience, and decided to go ask the people who were leaving for their impressions of the attorneys. It turns out that the men had some negative feelings towards me. Like they thought I was trying to plant ideas in their minds. Or something.
I can't imagine why they thought that. And neither can you, right? I mean, you agree with me that that would be crazy, don't you? I'm sure you agree that that is not a very reasonable way to feel. But you should make up your own mind.
