I had a suppression hearing today. I was moving to suppress incriminating statements made by the defendant to a police officer. (To the non-lawyer types, that means that if the motion is granted, the statements he made to the police officer will not be allowed into evidence at trial.) Criminal defendants rarely ever win such motions. So guess what happened with my motion?
Did you guess?
Did you?
The judge granted my motion.
I wish I could say it was because of my brilliant advocacy. And to be honest, I wasn't half bad. My examinations of the witnesses were good, though my argument could have been better. But the prosecutor messed up just enough that my side won. How awesome is that?
