Even though I know that every single day the odds are stacked against me sometimes it hits home even more on certain days. Take this week- my buddy and I are preparing to try a murder case next week. While the PA's handling the case have shut themselves in the "war room" for the past two weeks working on nothing else, we have been in court every single day, do misdemeanors, PV's, bond hearings, etc. There simply is no one else to do it. They have more than 1 secretary for each prosecutor. We have 6 staff for 15 attorneys.. so instead of getting ready for a freakin murder, i am writing letters, tracking down witnesses, making phone calls. Real fair.
