So...I am about a third of the way through listening to the other AL podcast located at the link I provided above. Here is is again...
http://recordings.talkshoe.com/rss48591.xml
This one discussed the Public Defender Toolbox. In the first 21 minutes there are 2 statements she makes that I find very noteworthy.
1st. I can tell autopsy jokes.
2nd A friend told me I have a unique ability that I can bond with psychopaths.
Additionally she discusses the fact that "Juries are not like us....many of them are Republicans."
When discussing case loads and PD being overwhelmed, she tells an example of walking into court Monday morning and meeting new clients after their arraignment. She said...."When you see that new client walk in with a thick file and a big cross around his neck you know it's going to be a bad day."
She also expresses her opinion that the Freedom of Information Act is the best thing that ever happened. Gave a website to generate a letter to request info. Hmmmmmmmmmmm yet the Sunshine Laws are presenting an issue for her???? Can't have it both ways dear.
I have also noted that AL has no issue with using profanity in her lectures AT ALL. Off to listen to more......this is so very interesting.
