Perfect Match
“I'd listened, dewy-e yed, to law school professors and truly believed that as a prosecutor, I had a chance to rid the planet of evil. This was before I understood that when yo u have five hundred open cases, you make the conscious decision to plead as m any as you can. It was before I realized that righteousness has less to do wi th a verdict than persuasion. Before I realized that I had not chosen a crusa de, but only a job.
Still, it never entered my mind to be a defense attorney. I could...n't stomach the thought of standing up and lying on behalf of a morally depraved crimin al, and as far as I was concerned most of them were guilty until proven inno cent.
