Or something like that.
Okay then.
I wish I had titled this something different but I just go with the flow...it's just that sometimes the flow is not so good. What can I say?
I don't know who caught Presumed Guilty when it premiered on Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) a couple of years ago, but it is a FANTASTIC documentary on life at the San Francisco Public Defenders Office. It's a must have (or at least see) for anyone even remotely interested in working at a public defender's office. There is a great cross-dressing witness that gets a lot of screen time...it's classic.
I would like to point out that Nigel Phillips (AKA: Nigel Twist), ex-rocker of a little band from the 80's some of you may know as The Alarm, is the featured Public Defender Investigator.
I know I have a copy floating around somewhere but I'm also looking to buy it on DVD. If I find the copy I'd be willing to share it.

Estimado Subcommandante,
I saw it - good video for our side! Jeff Adachi comes across as a real mensch.
And back in the 80's I had an Alarm album, on vinyl. "(C)ombining bombastic rock with the power of the mullet..." - it was a simpler time.
Comrade Skelly:
Yes, I'm a huge fan of Jeff. I heard him and Nigel speak at a function about a year ago and they were both interesting AND entertaining...what more could you ask for?
I first heard the alarm on a mix tape someone had given me...those were the good ole days.
