Public Defense

: A Public Defender's Life in Alaska

So, my opening is done. I worked on it for 3 months. I counted my edits: I wrote it and re-wrote it and re-wrote it 80 times. 80. I practiced. I had it filmed. I gave it over and over. And I think it paid off. I think it was one of the best openings I have ever given. It was exhausting. Literally 3 months of life burned by in about an hour. I worked on that damn thing every night. Every weekend. Every holiday. And now it is done. The jury is out until Monday when the State starts presenting evidence. I'm not sure what I would do if I lose this trial. I can't talk about it.....but I feel strongly about his innocence. Time to relax. I have never worked that hard on any one document in my life. Rack 'em!

Here is article on it from the Peninsula Clarion
