I found that with both, my idea of justice was more in tune with what justice should be. <br /><br />When a prosecutor, judge, or police officer gets arrested or does something wrong, some defense attorneys become the most self-righteous people on the face of the earth! They laugh and relish it. They pat eachother on the back and say, "Serves him right" or "She should've known better." My momma taught me never to rejoice in the suffering of others. I didn't do it when I was an ADA and I don't do it now that I'm no longer an ADA. <br /><br />Mark, you're a hypocrite. You talk about self-righteousness in your blog and don't even see the log in your own eye (your own sanctimoniuos attitude). <br /><br />Murray, thank you for showing that even you-were-born-to-be-an-ADA former DAs are more compassionate than flag-flying-constitution-waving-anthem-singing-true-believin-defense attorneys are.

Rosenthal was a peer under Johnny and before I retired, my boss. He was never a buddy and I won’t apologize for him. I really have to wonder about an administration that is more worried about perception than getting the job done with well trained, experienced people who enjoy coming to work every day. If you want to lead, get around to the courts every day and see what the problems are. Try cases with the kids. Sit second with a new felony 3. Let them know what the rules are. Open the door and invite them in. Probably didn’t know this, but Johnny actually tried a case with me when I was a misdemeanor 2, over 30 years ago. Thereafter, I also felt I could walk into his office and talk about problems, and I did. I never felt he was a buddy, but a boss who gave a damn. I felt the same way about my immediate supervisors over the years and practiced that leadership when it was my turn.<br /><br />It seems as though you guys have opened up for the defense community, but not for your own people. You don’t know what’s going on because of your obsession with perception.jigmeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01924600460740103836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-23246268146903854062009-07-22T23:44:56.594-05:002009-07-22T23:44:56.594-05:00I enjoyed her blog as well.
