Justice
Yesterday, a relative of one of our employees called needing help. She is the complainant in a misdemeanor sexual battery case where the commonwealth's attorney did not assign a prosecutor and she was left to fend for herself. Virginia does not allow private counsel to act as prosecutors but attorneys may "assist" victims in presenting evidence so assist I did. The defendant was convicted and received a ninety day sentence, a fine, a year of probation, and a lifetime on the sex offender registry. No matter how the rest of my day goes, this will be a good day.
