La Peine Forte et Dure: July 2006
http://indigentdefense.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
La Peine Forte et Dure. A Public Defender's Journal. Monday, July 31, 2006. I tried a domestic violence case today. I was pretty sure that it would be a long, uphill battle. My guy was accused of fighting his dad. We had some things going for us, though, and it was a triable case. The thing is, I told the prosecutor, prior to trial, that if my client got convicted, he'd end up doing a year. Go figure. Posted by swd at 10:14 PM. Tuesday, July 25, 2006. Posted by swd at 6:57 PM.
