After participating in the "real world of the justice system" for a total of ten (10) years, in both Lane and Umatilla Counties, I like my bubble.   Prosecution was more satisfying than defense, however.

I quit when I couldn't stomach the defendants in my last three death cases that I was appointed to defend.   One Murder and two Manslaughters.  (Although I did talk the jury into only convicting the one woman of Criminally Negligent Homicide for the death of her 6-week old baby.  That's called a 'success' in criminal defense circles.)

I got tired of 'succeeding'.  Went back on active military duty.
