Nuremberg Defense

One of my current PD colleagues, Chazz, has a trial today with a prosecutor who used to be a PD until she got lured over to the dark side by more money. The case is very weak, with some conflicting witness testimony, but, of course, the kid's life will be totally fucked up if he loses. Chazz was ragging the prosecutor for not trying to do the right thing for the kid. The prosecutor replied that she was "just doing her job." Chazz told her, "And there was a bunch of people in Nazi Germany who were just doing their jobs!"

Needless to say, Miss Former PD was pissed. I think Chazz got a little scared; he took one of my bosses to be his second chair. I haven't talked to them yet about how it went. I think closings are tomorrow.
