Paul C. Brunson

Like if you're in the UK or the USA, like we have due process.

Like people have a right to an advocate.

And my job is to be.

And again, like I take great comfort in the reality.

Yes.

That, you know, the truth has a way of coming out.

Sometimes, despite my absolute best efforts to try to obfuscate the facts, reality is reality.

Facts are facts.

It's very rare that excellent advocacy can completely, you know, detract attention.

Like, a lawyer is, at best, makeup.

Like, what is makeup?

Is makeup a lie?

No, makeup is accentuating the positive, dissentuating the negative.

But you can't take a hideously ugly human being and put makeup on them and now they're gorgeous.

Like, you do the best that you can with what you have.

And by the way, I don't believe...

that there are just evil people walking around doing evil things.

I have spent a lot of time with the cheater and the cheated on, the victim of domestic violence and the perpetrator of domestic violence.

And I wish, having spent time with each of those people, I could tell you

oh yeah, there's just evil people.
