My facts never changed and neither did my argument on the law. I didn't come up with a new theory every time she came up with either a new theory or new (false) facts. Although I defeated her in the end (but before trial on a writ of habeas corpus), it was extremely frustrating wondering how the facts would change. Those types of prosecutors shouldn't be allowed to constantly dredge up new theories on appeal either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
