Opening mouth, fearing what might pop out

Two thoughts today on that which is said, and that which is not said.

First there's GentleEleos, with a nice long reflection on what she says, and what she might like to say, to the public defender clients who tell her they can't go to jail, they just can't.

Then there's my colleague the private p.d. contractor, who told the judge this morning, "We have a conflict; my client would like a different lawyer, and I would like a different client."
