I'll be standing witness in August for a close call with a sick man I had back in November.

Thanks for posting this, I was getting kind of nervous about having to testify, but I'm feeling a bit less so after hearing your version.

I testified at a preliminary trial for this case a few months ago and I don't think I did too great of a job. I walked away thinking there were a lot of details I didn't get out that I should have and felt pretty bad for not being able to identify the guy.

At the time I didn't beat myself up too much about it but now the more I think about it the more I feel for the real victims of this guy. I'm going to do a better job this time around of helping with the case against this guy so the actual victims of this guy can hopefully rest a little bit easier knowing he's put away.

Anyway - great post, I'm thoroughly enjoying #adayinthelife, I might have to do my own with my own experience!

I hope you will!

EDIT: ok - so I made the comment above just thinking generically "hey - I am also enjoying this dayinthelife thing TNG started, I'd love to hear more! I'll encourage this person"

and then I read the linked story about the Night of Terror. I certainly hope you take your time and share that stuff when you're ready, but I'm not some kind of freakazoid who wants you to re-live tragedy for my entertainment. Yikes - what a terrible sounding experience.
