can’t work with them, can’t reason with them….
I know it’s not all DA’s – because I’ve met DA’s not in my court room that I like – my best friend (gulp) is a DA in washington state, but the DA’s in my courtroom are unbearable.
I seriously don’t know how they sleep at night. I had a lovely screaming match with one of them on Christmas eve. I shan’t go into the details in case someone from their office is reading this, but suffice it to say that they are awful to work with and justice is not being served, in my opinion, with these power freaks in baby DA positions.
Do any of you dear readers (if I have any left since it’s been so long since I have posted) have a decent relationship with your DA’s? Mine started off great – until I started calling them out on things that they should or should not (read – have no right to) be doing. I’m to the point where I have to put things on the record because a clear pattern is being established in my courtroom.
I’m frustrated. I don’t know if this is just typical new DA/PD stuff or what. Any insight readers?

Hey. They don’t take the job unless they get off on having power. And how do you know you have power, save by using it to screw someone else?

There are good ones and bad ones. Too bad that the Dark Side attracts so many more than the staight path of justice.
