T minus 6 days

Had a HUGE scare today when I thought that I wasn't going to be able to use a document on which I was relying to destroy these guys. Can't really get into the details, but basically, I was going to let the guy get up on the stand, perjure himself, and whip it out right there in the middle of the courtroom. The document, that is. Anywho, I found out today that the document might have been obtained confidentially and thus not something that I would be able to use in trial. Turns out it wasn't. WHEW! Crisis averted. I mean it's not like my case hinged on it, so it wouldn't have been a huge deal if I hadn't been able to use it. But let's just say I would have thrown a MAJOR hissy-fit.

I'm getting more and more documents in that show what liars these guys are. It's amazing. You know the end of those old western movies, when the good guys were backed into a corner by a canyon somewhere, and all of a sudden the back-up troops would arrive on top of the mountain? I always asked myself how those guys planned on getting down those cliffs without getting hurt. But that's neither here nor there. The point it, since my clients are the good guys, all these people are pitching in to try to help us with our case. And that's just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside!

Oh, and the non-trial-related issue has just taken a turn for the dramatic. Great! Just what I need a week before trial!
