great experience.

Concerned a guy (con-artist) charged with attempt to defraud 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. We really wanted to find him guilty (as he was,) but Government just didn't present a solid case against him. We did the right thing under the law, were not happy about it, and judge recognized such (I could tell, from his expression, upon announcing our verdict.)

p.s., was surprised I was allowed by parties to sit, due to being attorney, but somehow, I passed.
