No one is moved

Go to the Safety Building in the morning for a sentencing hearing.  TV cameras are there to cover the case.  My speech for the client is from the heart.  No one is moved.  Go to Sam’s Club to get soda and water.  Go back to the Safety Building for another hearing in the afternoon.   Go home emotionally and mentally drained.  Sleep for 10 hours.
