A couple of weeks ago, one of our guest blawggers (a prosecutor) posted about his disdain for tardy defense attorneys. Now Jamison Koehler, a blawgger friend and criminal defense attorney in Washington D.C. shares his recent experience about a tardy prosecutor.
It seems to me, the common theme here is that as professionals and officers of the court, none of the parties should be late. As Jamison points out, if it happens in Washington DC, you (or your client) may pay the consequences.
