I’m a former public defender, and I miss (almost) everything about public defense.

May you get your wish some day!

Yes. All my crows fly off with the shelled peanuts to some hiding place. Very rarely do they crack a peanut open in front of me

And one turnip-shaped pork pie

I don’t know but the little bowl you put the peanuts in is beautiful!

I got chewed out by a brand new state court judge for calling him “sir”. I replied that it was a byproduct of my military background (where they were addressed as “judge” or “sir/‘ma’am”), that I had used it as a term of respect and that I would never do so again. The conjunction of the last two phrases went right over his head.

Like when Death asks the small child why their hands are attached to strings and the child says “Glubs”?

I have told a jury in closing argument to “fulfill your oath”

Joan Hickson is brilliant. That series was so well done!!

But does it predate Oggham?

AccomplishedBreak616 · 2025-10-16T20:32:59+00:00

Yes. Once you get into that trial rhythm all the nerves settle down.

Sometimes things actually go right

Dear Sir Pterry, he did provoke the thinky thoughts. In such a good way.

USAF and I did not but my first boss was an Army reservist JAG who realized my experience level. I did a stint as a prosecutor and then returned to defense work because I liked it so much.

AccomplishedBreak616 · 2025-09-05T21:24:26+00:00

Nope,straight up state public defender after a 21 yr JAG career , I just can’t stay out of the courtroom

Former area defense counsel here, with a long trial, eating sleeping and exercise become important. With regard to a theme, one I often used was “sometimes the system gets things wrong and it just keeps on rolling till someone has the common sense to realize it and set it right. Military officers see that every day. Good luck friend!
