I envy your knowledge in this arena, and yet I don't -- if that makes sense. Thank you for sharing this slice of your experiences with us.
(Earlier in the Term, on the first anniversary of my marriage, I had stayed at work on another death case until that petitioner gave up and stopped fighting his death, which meant that I could go out for an anniversary dinner. Dinner wasn't a joyful celebration, for some reason.)
