She's A PD
I just discovered I'm a PD, the blawg of a public defender in "Big City, California." Where has she been all my life? A bit of inside info from the most recent post:
Truth in the courtroom: The great ones always get dismissed or infracted.
By "the great ones" she means the cases that you could slam dunk, and those almost never go to trial. So true.
But, um, what's "infracted"?
I have to run to school five minutes ago. Yeah, school. Today it's just meetings, but the summer is, for almost all intents and purposes, over. Gulp.

"Infracted" is when they get offered an infraction - something that won't give them a criminal record.
Sometimes you're client takes it rather than risk getting convicted of a crime.
The ones you'd love to take to trial never make it that far.
