The victim's father, later, after the jury verdict of not guilty...., was found, by law enforcement, to be in an absolute fit of rage doing doughnuts, in his truck, around the defendant's parked vehicle, in the courthouse or the county jail parking lot, I forget which lot. The state was, of course, livid about the whole situation.
I sometimes heard about stuff like this later, after a member of the state had cried on the shoulder of one of my colleagues, or had told me directly.
Defense lawyers did not get calls like this, directly from law enforcement, describing stuff like this, but the state often did.
I heard about things.....The pick ax in the eye, after my dangerous and not guilty client was released from jail..... Things like that.
By the way, I know some people have grateful, happy clients, that may even thank you, send flowers or chocolate, a card, stuff like that.
That was not my client group.
By contrast, Rumpole had three generations of the Timsons, South London villains, clients who generally were grateful, returned year in year out, things like that. That was not at all how it was here for a lawyer "on legal aid".
