Well, I'm still here. Yesterday was a rough day. Thanks so much to all of you who commented. It really made me feel much less alone in my outrage and that's always a good thing, no? ; ) The good news is that everything seems to have smoothed over a bit. I called the witness and wished him well in his treatment and told him not to ever worry about the case again because he was off my witness list. Then I waited. The good thing I've found about speaking out when people are doing things that they should be ashamed of is that you can usually give them a little time to reflect on it and they'll come around. My boss is a good man. His focus just needed to shift back to the bigger human picture. I think it did, at least enough to keep me here for a few more weeks. So, I'm off again to go chase down evidence for Monday.

Well done, Cate. I'm not surprised at all that you made the choice you did. You're a person of vast integrity and the wonderful thing about being near someone like that is, it's contagious.

I feel proud to know you.

#1 thing which 'one' doesn't miss when 'one' no longer prosecutes ;)

it's all about being able to play poker, isn't it? never react to the press of the moment, keep a straight face and play your cards by your intuition and memory.
what seems like a certain injustice at one moment--given time and YOUR perspective of integrity played itself out. justice isn't all about the law.
good for you!!! :)

You rock, Cate. I'm sending you virtual good vibes and luck. And maybe a little virtual kahlua coffee. ;-)
