I haven’t quit (and more firsts)

First real death glare.  The complaining witness in my case happens to be in the same jail as my client.  So when I went to the jail to see a third client the guard walked me through a portion of the jail (otherwise I’d have to go through the labyrinth that is the inner jail simply to get directly downstairs  - very nice of the guard to allow me to bypass all that) anyway, so I walked right past poor, incarcerated “victim” - totally NOT a victim in this case (I wish “big fat liar” was a legal term that I could use at trial) and I got the death glare.  It was kinda hard to see under all that black eyeliner - but it was there.  Her incarcerated buddy joined in on the death glare, too.  I did my best to pretend not to feel it - so I never looked back over - but man, that was fun.  I feel pretty brave as long as she’s dressed in all orange.
