Law practice

Abe and Desiree practice law in a large firm.  Perhaps they'd be interested to know what it's like to practice in a small town.
 
Harlowton has about one thousand people.  A lawyer who practices there will know them all -- and, therefore, everyone on a jury panel. 
 
Mr. and Mrs. Lammers -- Art and Rose -- were among those being questioned on voire dire.  I asked Rose, "Suppose you and your husband are both chosen to serve on the jury. Would his view of the evidence determine how you vote?"  
 
Her answer, "He'd better do what I say."
