When I was growing up, my brothers and I really look forward to Saturday mornings.

We would wake up and my mother would have what we like to call a sugar breakfast.

He had to tolerate his father's accused murderer who was representing herself, cross-examining him for days.

During the third day, Adam's patients had run out. After a particularly outrageous question, Adam finally lost his cool.

Your bonkers, he said. Your Cuckoo for Coco puffs. This outburst and the laughter in the courtroom did not deter the defense. Neither did the fact that the accused murderer, Susan Polk, was cross-examining her own son.
