great story on buzzfeed about the kid who killed his kkk dad who was physically abusing him after the kid saw a tv show where a kid did something similar and didn’t get in trouble. The kid will be locked up for 10 years.
The judge must decide whether to send him to cya aka djj or somewhere else where he can actually get treatment for the effects of the abuse and help with his learning disabilities. Really great article on buzzfeed. #sosad.

What and who JJC is inspired by: public defenders I have worked for, with, and next to. my clients who have battled things no one should and are still here. innocence and guilt and everything in between. My coworkers, who fight just as hard as the PDs I love, for many of the same reasons. My husband who was once voted "most Christ like" (every Jewish girl's dream). My Corgi who loves everyone.
