If you remember, my first trial was a contested bench trial last July, which I won.  My first jury trial was last September, which I won on four out of seven counts by way of required findings of not guilty, but the jury convicted on all three counts that went to them and my client was taken into custody as a result.  Well, today I had another jury trial and I got to hear the jury say “NOT GUILTY” for the first time.  And it was glorious.  One charge, not guilty, you are free to go, ma’am.   Best feeling ever.  Until I started thinking about all the things I did wrong, but that’s to be expected, I suppose.  I wish I could go into more detail about the shenanigans that manifested during jury selection and the prosecution’s case, but I am not totally anonymous anymore, so I am not going to.

I’m back to being a writer/editor for the suicidegirls website (if you don’t know, it’s a site focused primarily on naked girls, so don’t be shocked).  I began my internet writing career as a Politics writer/editor over there from 2005-06.  When they went in a different direction, I was no longer needed and eventually came here on my own.  They are going in yet another different direction and have given me the Politics post again.  I am thrilled about this and I will tell you why - I have been in a rut and this was a gig that I just adored.  It is no secret that I never really got this site off the ground - I didn’t give it the attention that a real blog needs and I figured that no one was reading, so why keep writing?  It was a terrible trap to fall into, of course, because the less I write, the less there is for anyone at all to read.  But now that I am back writing for a built-in audience and responsibility to answer to, I anticipate a rebirth of this site.  I will cross-post at times (not everyone wants to go to a naked girl site, even though you will be able to read my stories without paying for membership or looking at any actual nakedness.  And certainly not my nakedness, let’s make that clear).  I will make this my public defender focus, though - SG is not the place for most of the stories I like to write here, which are more personal and somewhat more raw.  I will have a broader focus there, though my job and my passions will still shine through no matter what.

Once I get set up over there again, I will let you know.
