Welcome to the trial lawyer's world. [View all]

Waiting for the jury to come back is the most excruciating part of any trial. You wonder what could they be doing? What could I have done better? Was it all not as clear as it seemed to me?

All you have is the knowledge that it feels so good when it quits hurting - except when it doesn't.

Sucks, huh?
