Medical records, school records.

He had literally no support. That was probably the hardest thing that Nathan had to endure. the fact that he had no one. But he had us. He really had us. And I had never in 50 years of practicing law had that kind of relationship with a client. Never.

For years, Nathan had lived in solitude in Vermont. He had never threatened anyone. So to me, it was unusual that they were in fear of what?

It was a huge undertaking and it was a daily seven day a week It really became part of our lives.

His case was his whole life. He wanted his day in court. He wanted to clear his name.

Nathan took his own life. He wasn't depressed. He wasn't despondent. We were all looking forward. to that October date so that we could have this trial.

It was probably the toughest thing I ever did because it was like losing a family member. It may sound crazy. You lose cases, you lose clients, but you don't have that kind of contact that we had with this person.
