justice in Detroit

I had my busiest day ever today in Frank Murphy Hall of "Justice". OK, there are no quotes in the actual name of the building. Today, I had a client who was charged with possession of Vicodin. The client brought a valid prescription to court. I showed it to the prosecutor who said, "Well, maybe we can charge him with a misdemeanor." I wanted to say fuck you, but I said very slowly so she would understand, "He has a valid prescription. Therefore, he did not break the law by having Vicodin in his possession." Fortunately, a more senior prosecutor came down before I had to kill her. He dismissed the charges. Another client wanted to plead guilty and get probation but he refused to admit to the conduct so the judge wouldn't take his plea! Yea! My first blown guilty plea. I didn't prep him enough about what he would have to do to. He can plead later, fortunately.
