Today while cross-examining my client, the prosecutor took two verbal swings at me personally. He suggested that I was responsible for my client's account of the facts and suggested that I was calling the state's witnesses liars.
What does that mean?

The first means you were suborning perjury.
The second means you were doing your job.
Well, I did neither. My client's story has been the same since day one, and I think only one of the State's witnesses lied, and he only once.
I was actually, though, asking what it means that the prosecutor thought it necessary to take those shots.
It means that you're making him feel very badly about himself and lowering his self-esteem. Well done.
shg hit it right on the head.
You hit him/her hard and the reflexively struck back on the most base level they could.
If history is any guide, your plea offers from that ADA should start getting better.
I think it means you're winning. And he knows it.
I agree with all the above. I love it when they start attacking me personally. Keep it up, Mark.

Dear Mark,
I would love for you to take a look at this Google search ( Manny Gonzales the kid that everyone forgot in the Ca prison system ! ) President Hugo Chavez has been asked to assist this poor Mexican American with his legal appeal fees to the Central Ca Federal District Court in Riverside California. This kid, tried as an adult in Van Nuys Ca never had a chance at justice in his criminal case, got unfairly sentenced to 27 years mandatory,and now faces being forced to submit his own appeal to the Federal Court. Please read some of the comments made from the public about this saga at the end of the letter written to President Hugo Chavez.
It means he's shakin' in his boots. Or whatever you Texans wear on your feet. Snakes?
Mark,
Can this situation with prison inmates not having federal appeal lawyers be justified in our courts ?
It appears to be terribly unfair that these poor and sometimes uneducated could be expected to write their own federal appeals from prison.Can you tell us how long this policy has been in affect and do you think it was designed to keep the poor blacks in prison longer ? I am amazed that our federal courts have been allowed to conduct their reviews of cases when these poor people do not have a clue how to submit their own appeals properly.
