New public defender blog

After a bit of a lull, the blogosphere welcomes another new public defender blog: PD Jay. Written by a public defender in Georgia, PD Jay has a few posts up. One of them, embrassingly enough, is about the PD Blog Guide. He will now find himself there. Here’s his most recent:

Next Tuesday will be a good one. Three trials all scheduled for that day. Today I met with a client and his wife. The State’s witness, the wife, keeps trying to tell the prosecutor that the cop is lying in his report. That she wasn’t injured, that he made stuff up when he wrote the report. Of course, the prosecutor won’t even meet with her. She won’t agree to reduce the charges. Hopefully, she won’t win at trial either. We’re coming in with the ‘victim’ as a witness for the defense. This will be my first jury trial where I can say that.

Go say welcome.
