Believe in Karma

Last week I wrote about this dog of a DWI case, giving enough information, apparently, that some people were able to identify the prosecutor of whom I wrote.

Today I went to court on this DWI case (trial was continued till August) in another court, only to find that the same prosecutor had been transferred to that case and would be prosecuting my client in this DWI case, which is much closer to the “whale” end than the “dog” end of the defensibility spectrum.

  1. Mark,
    I honor you, Jennifer, and your colleagues. After reading your Chron interview this morning, I can see you’re a man of integrity and high values. I agree that you and your colleagues do VERY important work, and I enjoyed your concise reasoning about why that is. Hopefully, readers will understand and perhaps even agree. Keep up the good work!
    Warmly,
    Damian Duplechain
