I want so badly for so many people to read this. I shared, but it's not enough. This is book material, or at least I hope! I have to say, one thing that both trials/acquittals have in common is YOU (as an attorney). I've watched your in action. I know that co-counsel has been excellent. But maybe others are like me and wonder what the outcome would be for us if we didn't have you as our defense attorney. I know that's what the summit in Denver was about so it's only a matter of time before there's a small army of highly qualified animal rights litigators. But they will not be you - your personal experience and compassion and incredibly sharp mental abilities make you a very effective presenter and persuader. You emanate trustworthiness because you've been in the trenches, and you speak the truth. People are pretty good a detecting bullshit and are fed up with corporate and government collusion and overreach. I'm still waiting to see what happens when you are not there to defend. Just being honest. It's a fear I personally grapple with. That and the Empire striking back, because we know they have and will. But I hear you loud and clear. You are not Atlas - it's not fair to ask you to be. The animals need more of us to take bigger risks.
