How to get back up
I had my first jury trial recently and lost. It happens, I know but this one stung.
I was in defense before switching over, and I have a very good relationship with the defense bar. However, theres a group of PDs in my jurisdiction (not all!) that subscribe to the idea that prosecutors are inherently evil. After my loss, I could hear that group talking about me, making fun of me and my closing argument, etc. I can’t explain why, but it’s heavy on my mind. Did I make a fool out of myself? The facts weren’t the best, and I tried with what I had, but am I just bad at this?
