Good morning!

We're thinking of Chris and Julie this morning. . .

Good "3-0" morning!

Good morning. Still raining in Greensboro, but we’ve had less than 1” total so far. I am NOT complaining.

Good morning. Back to the salt mines we go.

Good morning!

Good morning. We lost power just after 6 pm. Apparently a tree fell across a power line about a mile from here. It was restored just after midnight! Thank you Duke Energy!

Good morning. It's still raining. We have had 4 inches. I'm hoping ever one stays safe and dry.

Good morning.

Good morning all!

Good morning.

I was in ALE court this morning. The prosecutor wasn't being a very good listener this morning as I attempted to explain why my client wasn't in court. She is in school at UNC-W, and her entire first floor apartment was flooded out. He tried to tell me that she should be here in court because UNC-W evacuated and wasn't having class. I told him that she couldn't get here since Wilmington is an island right now, and her apartment was flooded. He wasn't having any of it. He said, "You can just throw me under the bus, to her. Blame me" for his attempt to have an order for arrest issued for her failure to appear on a day when it was impossible for her to appear.

I said, "I'm not going to throw you under the bus. That's not my style. You don't know me. I don't play those games. I will tell my client the truth."

The prosecutor called my case first. In front of a full courtroom, I pleaded my client's case to the judge, and when I had finished explaining my client's plight to the Chief District Court Judge (without even mentioning the prosecutor in my argument), the prosecutor walked across the room and APOLOGIZED to me.

There was no order for arrest issued. The judge recognized all of the community service work that my client had already done, and the evaluation work that she had already finished.

Did I mention that the prosecutor APOLOGIZED to me?

The prosecutor APOLOGIZED to me.

It was kind of a big deal.

Good "Hump Day" morning.
