and teachers, nurses, cops, fireman and soldiers who struggle to make ends meet.

Give me the latter.

But to be fair...

I once plead a PD client guilty at arraignment by accident. I was not feeling well, and when I am supposed to pleand my client ot guilty, I said guilty. The judge, the prosecutor, the client, and everyone else heard it, I did correct it, but the official record never showed it. Good to be friends with the reporter. Client hired a private attorney.
