Pity no. My client (well the son of my deceased client) gave me a hug though at that time, and at the end of the trial. He knew I was an ersatz trial lawyer, but well, I had certain other qualities which he came to appreciate. Quite emotional. I am not quite the same person I was six months ago. I had a duty to walk into the abyss due to a series of accidents, including my real client, the father, dying in midsteam, and just had to carry on, as best I could, as the "perp" put words into the mouth of my dead client, which I had to deflect through circumstantial evidence and shredding the credibility of the "perp." I was determined to overcome my lack of experience in certain areas, and to retain my self respect. I think I did. We shall see what the result is. I will let you know.
