last week

I am definitely bitersweet about project ultimately coming to an end. I really enjoyed it. My sponsor was awesome and my project was very lively and interesting. It makes me even more excited about my future. I did different taks on both Tuesday and Wednesday, so I will talk about those here.
First, my day Tuesday. I hate to say it, but Tuesday was the one day of project I actually did not enjoy. It was pretty boring. I did 2 things. First, I worked with another lawyer in the office and finding evidence and information regarding the ability of the government of Mexico in dealing with cartels and crime, to help her with an upcoming trial. Then, in the afternoon, I spent at least 2 and a half hours dilvering sipeanos in rural Ohio, also known by some as, Nobamaville. Needless to say, this was a pretty big waste of time. This is because one person had no idea what the trial was, one house was abandoned, and one company went out of business around a year ago, meaning I did all of that driving and wasted all of that gas for nothing! Oh well, at least I got to listen to some Kid Cudi on the road.
Secondly, my day Wednesday. On Wednesday I saw the beginning of a trial. It is a rather interesting case. It is about business malpractice. 2 people are accused of stealing money from each other and the company. This means that my sponsor, while being on the defense, is also somewhat acting as a prosection, because he is also trying to prove to the judge and jury that the other man did in fact steal money. The beginning of the trial was centered around discussions of money transactions, and most importantly, co worker statements. Both sides brought in 2 types of witnesses. One that would say how great of a boss their client is, and how he would never as well as could never do something like this. The other type of witness they brought in was one that hated the other side's defendent. This type of person would testify about some sort of harm that he caused him, to try to show the jury that he is the exact type of person to commit this sort of crime. Ultimately, I am not going to be able to see what happens with this trial, but I am eager to catch up with my sponsor at some point over the summer, and this will definitely be one of the questions I ask him.
