I posted how I kicked that state’s ass in my very first trial, but I have some confessions to make.
#1. The state pretty much handed that win to me on a silver platter. The witness totally recanted and the DA seemed to have no idea what the witness was gonna say. It was painful to watch, really.
The best part about it is the DA actually snickered when I walked into court that morning because neither of us knew if the complaining witness was going to show. Too bad he didn’t know what his witness was actually going to testify to.
#2. Closing arguments - either my closing argument kicked so much ass that the DA felt utterly defeated and refused to rebut my closing or - well, who the hell knows why he didn’t rebut the closing?! What kind of prosecutor just gives up like that? Not that I’m complaining - just utterly flabbergasted!
#3. The charges were ridiculous. If I were a juror on this case I would have been pissed that I missed a day of work for such a ridiculous trial. A serious waste of the states resources.
But hey, I’m currently undefeated so I’m totally not complaining!

Come on, don’t let the DA off that easy. They took a loser to trial instead of dismissing your client’s case months ago. Especially when they knew their witness was crap. That’s exactly when they need a good whipping. Congrats!
