In court 1c, Ms. Berrie spoke to one of her clients about their assault on a female charge. While it may be easy to judge a person off of their charges, the story behind it can lead to something much greater. As the client described the day of the assault from their point of view it seemed as if the entire story changed the case completely. It was learned that they were locked out of the house in the cold and were being kicked out. That does not excuse what happened however it made it make more sense. I also learned Ms. Berrie advises against a 50b (domestic violence protective order) for clients because she says they almost always come back to get you
This afternoon I look forward to watching a jury trial up in court 3c.
