good lawyers?

i totally wrecked myself last night with that song i posted about yesterday. i went and burned it to cd and played it on repeat as i slept and i kept waking up to the slow croon "ohhhiiiiiooo" which in turn made me think of mike, which led to tears and a sinking heart. oh well, sometimes we need to wallow in self-pity, i think.

blah, then there's this book i'm reading. did you know you're almost as likely to pick out the wrong person in a line-up as you are to pick out the right one, as a stone-cold sober, sane eyewitness? and think of how many people sit in jail cells based solely on eyewitness accounts. how many of those people are innocent? it's absolutely crushing, like boulders in my chest cavity pushing on my heart, sometimes i can't handle this shit.

The Innocence Project
