If we are introducing ourselves: Pretty generic Boston-area lawyer. Try cases now and again. Bake and mope occasionally.
Sometimes write for Bullshit Hunting about obtaining and analyzing public records, to do stuff like identify shipwreck victims or fight wrongful convictions or whatever.

If you’ve ever been around where they sell pierogi you know how badly they want you to have the pierogi. You know what kind of asshole you have to be for people to actively refuse to sell you some? It’s in their DNA to feed you. It goes against nature to refuse!

On the 23rd of November of 1963, at around 5:15 pm, the BBC aired "An Unearthly Chil", the first episode of a series of a sci-fi family show, that'd use time travel to teach children about science and history, and the rest as they say, is history (pun 100% intended).

Thinking about this trial, the lesson is the same as the last few:
The case you try is the case you start with.
Years spent, soaking in discovery, luxuriating in motion practice, foundering in interlocutory appeals…and the jury heard the case, as we answered it, in 2018.
