Defending suspects

I know, its late and I must be mad, posting at this time. I am a night owl, as much as I would like to deny this fact, I cannot.

I have just got home, having decided to give my free time to the Criminal practice where I am working as a Paralegal. Apart from the case I mentioned that is in the press, I am working on other cases that are equally as interesting, if not infamous.
Having just completed a comparison of evidence schedule for a massive 23 count offence, I am worn out. My client has so much evidence against him that I simply have to be in court on the day of sentence to see what "Bird" this geeza has ends up doing. He will end up doing time, no matter who represents him. The weight of the evidence is simply, outstanding. The case is of a nature that makes you sad that our society has come to this and of course the defendant denies all allegations, backed up by his doting wife.

Now I can't sleep and I have to be at the LA in the am, bright and sparky. Thinking of the LA, I was invited to  the home of my ex-boss who was run out of her position for some food and drink along with the rest of the department last week. Those who I thought were going to attend did, and I, who was unsure due to the nature of the criminal firm's working hours, made it.. Glad I did too. Was a nice affair, save one person inparticular who is a rattle snake in the grass and I believe only a few people have realised that this person really is a naughty one, a really really naughty one. The person will eventually cock-up. Even the best ones do. I shall smile when I see it. I think the person who was bitten knows who took a bite out of their arse! I digress....

Criminal defence is a lot of hard work, for very little pay or thanks, but it appears to be the field that I excel in and am comfortable.

Study time is looming and I need to get my arse into gear. I have at least arranged the practical elements of a study session, all I have to do is attend. First classes back are this weekend and I aim to have prepared all my study group sessions in full before Friday! This is going to be another busy week! Aren't they flippin all?!
