The overwhelming majority of them feel that we are either bumbling incompetents--after all if we're otherwise why aren't we in private practice making real money?--or, even worse, actively conspiring with the DA against them as evidenced by the fact that we know and appear to act friendly towards a lot of these people who are prosecuting them. ↗
I sometimes try to imagine what would have happened if we’d known the bonobo first and the chimpanzee only later—or not at all.
