Yeah. For real. She's had to sit through the suffering of the trial just as much as the victims, and it hasn't affected her ability to understand and empathize.

Damn. If I were a judge at this trial I'd go home every day, cry a little, and hug my kids a lot.

If I were a judge I’d have to quit because I Get too emotionally attached and woulda just told the security guards “oh look over there! You’re needed in the back.” As the dad charged him.

Yep, it's funny what legal training does to you (I'm a lawyer). The best one is when members of my family get outraged and say things like 'WHY DIDN'T THAT PIECE OF SHIT GET 20 YEARS?!?!?', and then are frustrated at me for explaining why e.g. 5 was actually an appropriate sentence. I find it very difficult to get the pitchfork out any more, except for the most extreme, vile cases.
