I have had many experiences with the criminal justice system being married to a police officer for 15 years, but I have had two personal encounters. One was when I was a juvenile being at wrong place at the wrong time and my second one five years ago. My first experience wasn’t so bad, but the second encounter was clearly my fault and it was awful. I had just taken a job with State Farm and leaving my position at Free Star Bank. My manager at the time was happy and sad. She invited me out to her house in Leroy for my going away party. The party carried on for a few hours and I had a few drinks during that time. At the end of the night we said our goodbyes and I got in my SUV to drive home. During the drive home, I was texting and driving,

    Personal Narrative: My Experience At The Prison

    I was so shocked as I was taken to be put in the back of the police car to be driven to a local jail by the police after the party. I started trembling on the way unable to process what had happened.

    Personal Narrative: The New Jail

    It is 7:23 a.m. on a Thursday morning, the pass allowing tardiness to first hour is tucked away in my tattered blue backpack. I sit in my car gazing at the quiet building. I have seven minutes to make it up the staircase, adorned with two lamp posts. I, along with many others, have visited Morgan Federal, the bank across the street, countless times and never realized just what was in the vicinity. A friend who works next door in the courthouse suggested I profile this place and gave the directions: “It’s in the old jail,” as if that was a common reference automatically understood.…

    Personal Narrative: A Career As A Criminal Defense Attorney

    I have a confession to make, I enjoy the practice of Criminal Defense. As a criminal defense attorney, I represent those charged with a crime, whether it's traffic, DWI/DUI, misdemeanor or felony. As per the explanation I have heard from many people, I defend the 'scum of the earth.' Since deciding this was my area of practice as an attorney, I have heard from friends, family and even total strangers that my chosen profession is 'wrong,' 'despicable,' I've even been told what I do is "what's wrong with America. " I try to have a legitimate discussion with these individuals to explain my decision to practice criminal defense.…

The doll - still eyeless, dirt smudged into the petticoat - lies dormant on my mantelpiece.…

My new found freedom came with the catch of proving to them that I would be responsible and reliable.…
