Sample Book Insights:
#1 The office wanted to ensure there would be no technicality in prosecuting Shawn, who was notorious in the police department. The victim’s testimony was required to be short and sweet, but the immigration issue was irrelevant and required alerting the federal marshals.
#2 I was assigned to arrest Manuel, and when I went to meet him, I realized that the only picture I had of him was the one taken when he was detained twenty years ago. I tried to arrest him calmly, but he smiled and nervously shook my hand.
#3 The head of security stopped the elevator as it was about to take me down to the lobby. Ms. Coates, right. he asked. I understand that there is an individual here today with an active warrant. Is that right. I nodded. I’ll take care of it. You don’t have to be involved.
#4 I had to inform Manuel that he would be arrested by ICE agents. I had been trying to stop it, but I couldn’t. The security guard next to me wouldn’t allow him to leave.

#1

The office wanted to ensure there would be no technicality in prosecuting Shawn, who was notorious in the police department. The victim’s testimony was required to be short and sweet, but the immigration issue was irrelevant and required alerting the federal marshals.

#2

I was assigned to arrest Manuel, and when I went to meet him, I realized that the only picture I had of him was the one taken when he was detained twenty years ago. I tried to arrest him calmly, but he smiled and nervously shook my hand.

#3

The head of security stopped the elevator as it was about to take me down to the lobby. Ms. Coates, right. he asked. I understand that there is an individual here today with an active warrant. Is that right. I nodded. I’ll take care of it. You don’t have to be involved.

#4

I had to inform Manuel that he would be arrested by ICE agents. I had been trying to stop it, but I couldn’t. The security guard next to me wouldn’t allow him to leave.

#5

I had to help arrest a man who was about to be deported. I had never had to do that before, and it felt like the worst day of my life.

#6

I was assigned to represent the government in a child-pornography case. The defendant agreed to a continuance to avoid two trials. The only available date was a month away. I didn’t know if I’d even have a victim by then or what might happen to him.

#7

The next time I saw Manuel was at the courthouse on the new trial date. He was flanked by a victim advocate whom I had worked with many times. Manuel refused to speak to me in English. I switched back to Spanish, and then turned to the advocate and expressed my disappointment in her for her refusal to act as an effective liaison.

#8

I always thought I would act on my principles, not on a directive. But instead, I found myself justifying my cowardice by telling myself that it was my duty as a prosecutor to carry out the order I was given.
