Filed under: pre-06-2006 — David Giacalone @ 7:13 pm


Check out your editor’s Guest Post at Crime & Federalism: pro bono Publico Relations,

expand the definition of pro bono services.


 


frosty night–
seven poor men
in a huddle






my dream comes true–
this spring my god
the god of the poor



 



all according to plan, yet
I’m cold!

Ken Lammers of the CrimLaw weblog has been covering (originally at my request)

a jailhouse confession by a 21-year-old man, who admitted brutally killing his aunt

last week in Troy, NY.  (See Pitcher Jailhouse Interview, WRGB/CBS 6 News, Jan. 12,

2005).  It is an interesting and sad tale, with lots of issues for lawyers (and citizens).

the wedding-ring quilt
lumpy with children

winter night
he patiently untangles
her antique silver chain
