A thread on public defense, trial practice, and my frustration with Congressional Democrats. I was a public defender for years. A big part of the job is eating shit from judges, prosecutors, cops, clients, everyone, and I ate a LOT of shit as a result. 1/11

One of the best bits of wisdom I’ve taken about writing is that you write the first draft to explain it to yourself and then a second to explain it to others. They skip all that and make sure no one understands anything.
