Yeah, I lost court cases and misdemeanor juries, but of felony jury trials I was successful 105 of 106 times.

I just spent 11 and a half months in a maximum-security jail, got shot five times, and was wrongly convicted of a crime I didn't commit.

I have a pretty good record of winning in court.

I spent time in, like, criminal courts, and covering murder trials for papers.

When you go into court you are putting your fate into the hands of twelve people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.

I was a trial lawyer when I was elected to Congress.

I have done prison time for 13 years without any conviction.

I was never given a trial. I never went before any magistrate, nor did my parents. To this day, I do not know what the charges that were lodged against me or my deceased parents at this time.

I've served on five different juries, and many of them were bonkers in their own way.

I'm an old trial lawyer.
