The firm has big plans for you.” David was silent, trying to find the right words.
Kincaid said, “Well? Have you told Dr. Patterson that you’d find another lawyer for him?”
“No. I’ve decided that I’m going to defend her.” Kincaid’s smile faded.
“Are you really going to defend that woman, David? She’s a vicious, sick murderer. Anyone who defends her will be tarred with the same brush.”
I’m not doing this because I want to, Joseph. I’m obligated.
I owe Dr. Patterson a great deal, and this is the only way I can ever repay him.
Kincaid sat there, silent. When he finally spoke, he said, “If you’ve really decided to go ahead with this,
then I suggest that it would be appropriate for you to take a leave of absence. Without pay, of course.”
Good-bye, partnership.After the trial, naturally, you’ll come back to us and the partnership will be waiting for you.
David nodded. “Naturally.”I’ll have Collins take over your workload. I’m sure you’ll want to begin concentrating on the trial.
Thirty minutes later, the partners of Kincaid, Turner, Rose & Ripley were in a meeting.
