During Braks, Their Own Cases Could Be Called
Laura says she often sat in court and observed her colleagues trials. It was common for the prosecutors to wait for braks in one another's cases. During those brakes, their own cases could be called. She was present for a trial where a young girl testified that she was sexually assaulted by her mother's boy friend who was now on trial. Laura remembers that at one point, the prosecutor on the case asked the girl why she was laughing. The girl apoo ized and said, i'm just really nervous. I'm sorry.
