Verdict Day

“When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President. I’m beginning to believe it.”

― Clarence Darrow

I'd been looking for a good Clarence Darrow quote about lawyers, and came across this one. It was too good not to post.

My last morning waking up to this for awhile.

Closing argument in a couple hours, then jury instructions, deliberation, and eventually verdict.

As usual on closing argument day, my GI tract is in full rebellion. I used to think I had a bad habit of getting food poisoning the night before, but I've learned it's just how my tired old body reacts to this exercise.

Either way, it'll all be over soon, and I'll be on my way to spend the night at the farm. The trial in Charlotte County was finally continued a few minutes ago, so I plan to fly back to Corning tomorrow morning as soon as the fog lifts enough to take off.

I'll hold that vision today.

Here we go.
