A great lawyer and, like many great lawyers, not without personal demons (Rick O’Casey, Houston Chronicle).

Anonymous Harris County prosecutor / blogger “Arthur Seaton” at Saturday Night and Monday Morning? Wuss. The anonymous Harris County prosecutor / blogger at Life After Esq.? Wuss. Harris County prosecutor Jeremy Gordon, blogging under his own name at The Minority Report? Definitely not a wuss. The first two cratered their blogs in the last week—because [...]
