the tao of criminal-defense trial lawyering

Newbie Defense Lawyers

I’m enjoy­ing hear­ing Har­ris County’s newly minted criminal-defense lawyers, recent depar­tures from the pros­e­cu­to­r­ial bar, talk­ing about pros­e­cu­to­r­ial bull­shit as though  they’re the first to dis­cover a previously-unknown creature.

  1. I love when pros­e­cu­tors leave the office and then sit in the cof­fee shop and lament how they can’t believe they cant get a good plea on a case. How soon they for­get that they were those “unrea­son­able punks” just weeks before

  2. The enlight­en­ment of (finally) open­ing one’s eyes.

    Althought it rarely hap­pens, I would imag­ine that a defense attor­ney who becomes a new­bie pros­e­cu­tor would bemoan the preva­lence of defense bar bull­shit, which is if course doled out in equal measures.

    I assume it is equal mea­sures, as I get more than I give.
