So I managed to gracefully exit my family law job and am back to working only two days a week in the DA's office. This week had crazy dockets because the judge was out last week and all of the attorney's will be gone next week. I did three pleas on Wednesday, and fortunately was not the one to do the five count plea on a co-actor in a murder case. The judge decided that he was going to stack all five counts on this guy, rather than let them run concurrently as per the plea agreement. You could instantly see the defense attorney start to sweat. He started to argue with the judge, and the judge pretty quickly put him in his place. In the end it came down to a minute procedural issue having to do with the order in which the individual counts were entered, and in this case, it was not done in such a way that the judge could stack.
In other news, I filed my first court document today that I prepared 100% by myself. It is a response to a motion for summary judgment, and I am really looking forward to arguing it in a couple of weeks.
