How we sleep at night
From public defender blogger Tales of a Public Defender Investigator referring to this story from the Sacramento Bee:
Sphere: Related ContentThe reason for this post is that I’m interested by what people who don’t work in the criminal justice system on a daily basis think about crimes and the defenses used in criminal cases….our jury pool. If you look down to the bottom of the article, there is a section for comments….lots of them. As of yesterday when I started this post, there were only 11 but I’m sure its grown a bit since then.
I’m only going to comment on two of them.

Public defenders sleep at night knowing that their job is essentail to the justice process. Due process, a trial by a jury, innocent until proven guilty.Don’t get me wrong; I am as bothered by this alleged criminal’s actions as much as you are. But please, don’t shoot the messenger. The PD is doing the job he’s supposed to be doing. May God bless all those public defenders out there who keep the balance in our justice system.
Thank G*d for people like Rowdygirl because she is right-fucking-on!
