I lost my first criminal trial. My client was accused of something Ohio calls felonious assault. The state indicted him for trying to hit someone with a car and a brick. In retrospect, I should have pushed him harder to plea and apologize to the victim. With that, he’d have gotten a couple of years or possibly probation. Instead, he went to trial, rolled the dice, and lost. For a night of drunken partying, he went to jail for seven years.
