By now I can balance mercy and the law in almost any case that comes before me. What no one sees is that I carry every sentence home. At dinner my mind is still in the courtroom, weighing a life I decided that afternoon. My family thinks I've stopped listening; really I've never stopped deciding.
More people experience this than they realize.
You've mastered hard judgment calls, but you carry every one home alone.
