Good Morning, your Honor...This blogger, on behalf of the people.

So here I am. A brand new government prosecuting attorney. A once-in-a-lifetime shot opened up and gave me--a B student who graduated from a third-tier law school--a slot as a prosecuting attorney in one of America's larger and more crime-ridden cities.
But while I may lack bona fide legal experience, I've got almost twenty years under my belt working as a correctional officer, an inner-city paramedic and a street cop, and this real-world experience has given me an understanding of poverty and crime, of victims and predators. So while I may not be too well versed in legal research and writing or trial strategy, I understand the people that will be coming into my courtroom, either as victims, as witnesses or as defendants. I intend to use that understanding to seek justice on behalf of those who need it, and give a legal kick in the ass to those who deserve it.

This is a record of my first days.
