DUI lawyer's blog takes on 'true believers'
Following a trackback to a recent post of mine, I discovered a blog I had not known about before, but wish I had -- True Believer. Subtitled, "A Santa Barbara lawyer dares to explore the madd, madd world of DUI," it is written by Lee A. McCoy, a lawyer who defends people accused -- often wrongfully, he believes -- of DUI. He explains it better than I ever could:
"Over the years I have learned a few things about how our society treats the DUI offense — in the courts, in the media and in the political process. I think the American public would be amazed if they knew what I know from first-hand observation; I am confident they would be ashamed of what we have done to our fellow citizens.If his postings make you thirsty for more, read his manifesto, check out his DUI encyclopedia, and visit his Santa Barbara DUI Center.
"I have created this blawg to share some of these things that I have learned. ... My goal is to convince you before you become one of the wrongfully accused — one of the injured. I hope to educate and to inform; to instill outrage in those who have not yet been injured; to shape public opinion, and in so doing to change the world. For the better; definitely for the better."
