Reading your words sounds much like my own experience.
Thank you for writing them out.
As for George living in fear, now and after the fact, I wonder, how many threats does Mark O’Mara and Don West receive on any given day.
I feel so out of sorts from this trial today. Between last nights circus and today’s constant side bars, I just feel the wheels of injustice have gone haywire.
They love it. This is battle and the stakes are high.
They will protect their families and themselves...but the higher the stakes, the higher the reward.
O'Mara and West both know they have just gained access to the next level up...maybe 2 or 3 levels up.
They are litigators and live for their work...and their work just got a whole lot more interesting and important.

Funny you would say that ‘cuz I have most often connected with your posts on these threads — either nodding my head in agreement or cheering you on or thinking “well stated!” It’s also encouraging to know that others out there have similar experiences to mine — not a big surprise here on FR! I’m always amazed when I meet people in my age group who act/sound like they are still living in hippiedom. Can’t they see what is happening!? Drives me nuts, but at least I know who they are, what they believe, and can be forewarned (so now everyone knows I’m judgmental as well as racist — ask me if I give a rat’s patootie).

Yeah, I keep thinking “If I feel this way — fearful, angry, hurting — and I’m just an observer, how much more intensely must George and his family be feeling?” I can hardly bear to imagine how his parents must feel. And I really do not want to know how many threats they have all received nor the viciousness of them. It’s evil unmasked.

I hear ya! I went from laughing hysterically and on a bit of a high after gunshot wound expert testimony yesterday afternoon to utter disgust last night to pensive — almost melancholy, if you will — today. I simply can’t shake the feeling that this trial is some sort of historical marker or milestone. Altho, I do wonder how many other trials like this are happening that we don’t even know about.
Stay strong!
