I usually take light reading when I go on long plane trips. This time it was David Baldacci's "The Simple Truth." The hero is a criminal defense attorney. On page 200 of the paperback version he says:
"Sometimes the truth is a lawyer's biggest enemy. You can't spin it. Nine times out of ten, with the truth, I lose."
The book is a good one. I recommend it.
It is a shame that lawyers and courts are more interested in the process than in the truth.
