NRG Arena and the Streisand Effect

I enjoy being a defense attorney. At least on most days. It's not always easy -- especially when you find yourself in a jury trial. You often find yourself behind the 8 Ball. Your client is charged with doing something unpopular -- sometimes really really unpopular. Usually, the evidence is pretty strong against your client, so you're fighting an uphill battle. In many instances, you find yourself trying to mitigate an outcome rather than avoid it. When you're a defense attorney, home runs are far and few between. Quite often, a base hit feels pretty damn good. If the State asks for Life and you help convince a jury that 20 years is more appropriate, that's a win in most cases. On those occasions where you get the big NG verdict . . . man, those are something. If you have never been a defense attorney and you find it unseemly when you see a defense attorney crowing about a Not Guilty in trial, have a little patience. Those are harder to come
