I have watched and listened to an attorney fight tooth and nail for her clients through this COVID-19 ordeal. She took the fight to the Washington State Supreme Court... and won. She was able to get a motion passed that keeps inmates from having to appear in crowded courtrooms for every piddling motion to continue that is going to be required during this. She is on the phone with every client twice a week asking about their health, if they have seen or heard of any cases or people showing symptoms. She is pushing for early release, bail hearings, and compassionate release for those in the more vulnerable groups. There are people who genuinely care who are fighting for human rights through this. I want you to have hope.
So, I changed careers again. I am a Paralegal for a criminal defense attorney. She mostly handles Class A Felony cases and I adore the work. I get to see the best and the worst of the criminal justice system. It is really fascinating. My empathy and compassion for the accused serves me well in this field. Apparently that is not a teachable trait. Who knew?
It really has been over 17 years. I still can’t believe I have crows feet next to my eyes when I smile. My husband has a couple gray hairs in his stubble. My oldest is a little over 3 years from high school graduation, my middlest (made up word) is awkwardly between child and teen, and my youngest will literally be half grown next month. And I’m not quite ready to grow up myself.
I hope you are able to find a way to get that early release. Take care of yourself in the meantime. Wash your hands constantly. Avoid people. Don’t touch things... and other impossible recommendations.
"Coronavirus masks that France ordered from China were bought at the last minute by the United States as they waited to be loaded onto cargo planes, French officials have said.
"Americans pay three or four times the amount we pay, and in cash," said Jean Rottner, head of France's eastern region, one of the areas worst affected by the coronavirus outbreak, according to reports by France Info.
On Thursday, a planeload of Chinese-made face masks were bought up right on the tarmac just as the much needed protective gear was about to set off for France.
"We're working around the clock to ensure these masks arrive," says Rottner, blaming unfair competition for delays. The United States, which now has the highest number of known cases of coronavirus in the world, is trying to procure any masks available, disrupting deliveries to other nations, another report by French daily Liberation indicated." So sorry, William, I rather wait for that to really happen before I believe it. All the best, stay safe. J
