Don't Judge Me

Another nail biting day in court! Honestly, I didn't think it would be so much like TV. The lawyers are straight out of the show Shark. The young good looking prosecuting atty with his beautiful model-turned-law-student assistant, starkly contrasted by the sharp dressed and slightly shifty defense atty. There are diagrams, photographs, CSI's, objections, all that good stuff. Its also not short on drama! The attys have made no attempts to hide their apparent disgust for each other by shooting sneers and rolling eyes when they get "over ruled" or "sustained". I'll keep an eye roll tally when I'm back in the box on Monday. Oh, and the jury is full of characters. One of every personality type; the loud lady praising WalMart, the big union guy booming about the government, the little lady acting surprised at every topic of conversation, like every word is a new one, the young blonde girl with lots of make up and a massive diamond ring, the older man, weathered by his 7th jury service, the middle aged woman complaining about every possible thing, and me, in the corner with my nose in a book turning up my ipod every 2 minutes trying to block them all out. Its truly surreal. 

Here's a picture of Mt. Rainier from the courthouse, please note the wonderful elusive blue sky. So pretty.
