We tal...Law is such a dumb "profession." We talk about logic, reason, facts like we are discussing hard science. I have seen too many prosecutors and judges lose it, dress down witnesses, defendants, parents, juveniles, and especially other lawyers. Prosecutors are extremely petty, self-important, puffed up, and they - as a class - really are the "worst kind of dishonest swine ever to crawl out of the devil's asshole." George Carlin said it best, didn't he? <br /><br />When presented with an inconvenient fact, most lawyers will do what they do best: spin, deny, twist things around, attack the messenger or victim.<br /><br />How often do dentists get dressed down, as a part of their job? What other professional goes to school for 7+ years of post-graduate education, just to struggle to pay the bills and be treated like a moron? "Counselor, you were supposed to be in my courtroom ten minutes ago. We cannot hold up the hearing just to meet your schedule. Are you situated? Can we continue with the hearing, now?!?! Don't ever let it happen again!" <br /><br />And you are not really in a position to tell the judge, "I had a hearing in Judge Smith's court, and it went much longer than anticipated because [the prosecution's witnesses (expert, LEO), judge, court attendant, prosecutor] did not show up on time. I apologize for their conduct making me late to your courtroom."Nandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06423524039657355134noreply@blogger.com
