After that, two of our clients were murdered by their respective spouses about a year or so apart & I got picked to say, "no comment" a lot. The press was horrid--they'd outright lie, they'd misrepresent themselves, they pulled every stunt to attempt to get us to talk. They even called us at home, day or night. And ethically, we couldn't talk.
Being the public information officer or spokesman (or, in my case, spokeswoman) is a wretched, wretched job. I don't want Chief Moose's job.
