It's a shocking story, I agree. One thing that surprises me about the criminal lawyers I know is that most of them say they do it because it doesn't require much paperwork, the money's good, and they don't have to work long hours. They aren't usually scholarly people. But then, not too many people can stomach being in the company of criminals all day every day.

Several clients filed complaints against Mr. Mock, with one claiming that he smelled alcohol on Mr. Mock's breath during their discussions. Mr. Mock at one time owned 11 bars, including Buster's Drinkery, a popular downtown hangout for judges and lawyers. "I drank a lot of whiskey," Mr. Mock said, talking in his office in Houston, where the walls are decorated with portraits of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. "I drank whiskey with judges. I drank whiskey in the best bars. But it never affected my ability. It never affected my performance." Hey he drank whiskey with Judges and owned 11 bars, what more do you want from the guy?? -g-
