What the world needs is another blog from a frustrated, wanna be writer slogging through her life as a criminal defense attorney in Harris County, Texas, right? Nope, not so much. But here I am.
The real reason for this blog is to counter-act all the whining and self righteous blather coming from two other popular blogs. I won't mention their names, but their authors are Mark and Murray (hereinafter referred to as the "M&M's").
Now M&M are good people. They are both fine upstanding citizens and no doubt pay their taxes on time and are fun at parties. But good lord, between the lecturing, posturing, narcissism, ranting and whining, they can wear a person down.
Criminal law is a deadly serious business. We all know it, and we all live with it on a daily basis. None of us need to be pontificated at, lectured on our shortcomings, belittled for speaking our opinion, or made to feel we are less than someone else. After all, that's what the criminal justice system does to our clients. That's what judges are for, right?
Unlike the M&M's, I have no craving for recognition, and I am going to remain anonymous on this blog. Everyone else feel free to remain anonymous also. I want this to be a place where people can post and speak out without fear of ridicule, having their posts re-written, being reported to their boss, or suffering any repercussions because they posted something here. This blog will only be censored if there is over the top profanity, libel, or otherwise criminal behavior. I encourage people to post tidbits about police officers, tips for lawyers on any subject, arrange meetings for booze soaked orgies, or whatever. In other words, I encourage the free flow of information. If someone wants to write an article or publish a rant, feel free. I will publish it if it isn't libelous and give the author full credit if he so desires.

I will only admit to the narcissim, ranting and whining! The rest is all Mark.
