If something happens in my life that I want to write something about, then I do.

Mine's public because I wouldn't write anything I didn't want people to read.

I guess we’re all guilty at some point of failing to appreciate the small things, because when we use a broad brush to paint our exemplary lives, we splatter ourselves with ignorance.

So far, the biggest surprise is how effective a job the government is doing. The case is stronger than I thought it would be. The witnesses have been more effective than I thought they would be. And the young prosecutors have more than held their own against the more experienced defense attorneys.

The trial court has already said it's a good-faith mistake. I think the Court of Appeals is not going to get involved in this. I think everybody realizes Harris County got hoodwinked as much as the defense did with Park Dietz's testimony.

I would think this is a long shot, trying to get the Court of Appeals to stop this trial. The defense has a better chance of having a stay granted than winning on the merits of the claim.
