Chapter 60: A Lovely Distraction

In the months that followed the LeRoi trial, Michael was busy with various cases, mostly smaller ones, a couple of larger ones, and of course, Jean-Luc’s appeal.  He found himself lacking the motivation to do even the smallest amount of research or preparation and was appreciative of Amy’s practically OCD nature when it came to the details.  The thought occurred to him that it might be time to find something else to do, but what that might be he couldn’t imagine.

He hadn’t seen Maggie since that night at Pete’s Tavern after the LeRoi verdict.  She had expected an appeal, but Rance had handed the case to someone else, probably, Michael surmised, at her request.  He didn’t blame her; she’d never liked LeRoi and to top it off he’d attacked her in court that day.
