“I’m willing to bet that your wife’s lawyer had to pull some teeth to get his hands on that dash cam video too.”
The video was such a big piece of our defense that we got it pretty fast, but our lawyer was really active about getting it. Everything else took a long time and lots of effort.
The Prosecutor had my wife’s mug shot on her wall in her office - right above her monitor. Our lawyer’s assistant saw it. Apparently something negative was written on it, but we never found out what that was. No joke.
A racist, bigoted prosecutor can make your life hell.
