Hi Drew – I hear that you are coming into the fray. I haven’t heard from your office yet about a meeting. I just wanted to remind you that Braden and I talked about the case a few times and she was a great help.¶
I am hoping to get all the evidence back from tomorrow, so I will have everything back up here in West Palm by Friday morning. I am meeting with the agents and group supervisor on Friday afternoon for a strategy session. Any chance my CEOS colleague can participate? At least by phone?¶
Thanks.¶

Well, it sounds like you will be ideal. I’ve given her the assignment and she’ll call you shortly. She plans on attending the meeting tomorrow.¶
If you need any other help just let me know.¶
I’ll talk to you soon. Best of luck.¶
That sounds perfect. I actually like the written stuff, so I can work on that with backup help for the flood of motions I expect.¶
One other strategic thing. I want the judge and jury to see that, rather than the big bad government vs. the poor little defense attorney, it is the big bad defense attorneys ganging up on the nice, polite, hard-working government.¶
Thank you so much, Drew. I really appreciate it.¶

Well, has those qualities - and there isn’t a federal prosecutor in the land who knows more about dealing with teenaged victims of prostitution offenses. That said, this matter is unique for reasons you know better than anyone.¶
Writen responses to complex legal claims - bogus or otherwise - is definitely not strength. On the other hand, she’s extremely good in court. I told¶

Jeff that perhaps it’s best to partner you with and give you back up on motions and other legal pleadings from someone else in my section with that strength. How do you feel about that?¶

I thought she was great, but I leave it completely to your discretion. I am happy for all the help I can get. You kind of know the lay of the land on the case, and I think we will get either Judge Middlebrooks, Judge Marra, or Judge Hurley. Tenacity, patience, and an ability to work with troubled young women will be key.¶
Thanks.¶

I just got off the phone with Jeff. I wanted to discuss my options with him a bit. I plan to assign it in the morning, and I will do whatever I can to get the TA down there for the meeting Friday. Do you have a preference for given your experience with her? She does know the area well. Thanks. Drew¶
