I am so annoyed with this case at work. This client has been sitting in jail since AUGUST and the State Attorney on the case decided today, when we're scheduled for a non-jury trial, to request a continuance in the case because she wants her own damn psychologist to evaluate my client.

Seriously? Talk about a waste of tax dollars! I suggested to the Public Defender that she file a motion for dismissal based on failure to prove the case by State's burden, not to mention the fact that a continuance at this late date is almost criminal! She agreed and went back to her office to daft one up for court tomorrow afternoon.

*sigh* Some days I hate my job.
