...Clark deserves sympathy. She was the underdog in a trial full of pit bulls: her appearance endlessly scrutinized by the sexist media, her jobs as a single mother and public servant tough ones, her midtrial custody battle an unimaginable burden far removed from the experiences of the Johnnie Cochrans and Robert Shapiros of this world.

Even after Judy fired her bench-baiting lawyer-brassy, little Archie Palmer-in midtrial, things did not improve. The court got her three lawyers who had been assisting Archie. Judy pouted and said she didn't like them. Then the attorneys pouted. They obviously hoped to appeal on grounds that Government Girl Judy Coplon was the victim of prejudicial treatment: as the trial drew to a close...
