If I were the Attorney for Ana Uribe I would tell the judge that she exhibited a great deal of self restraint by waiting until the next day to punch her former co worker and then I would rest my case. It works slightly less than one third of the time.
However, if I were Ana Uribe and she was assigned me as her Attorney, I would insist upon a new Attorney.

If it was a public defender that's the one that I wold want. On another subject: Don't y'all think the last episode of the Good Wife was really weak? I miss her so much though. And Grey's Anatomy and Nashville had season finales and I didn't have a clue until the next week. How can I be an informed voter when I'm not even an informed viewer?
