Emotional Intelligence

My boss won his criminal case today. Yippee. He got the person acquitted. Tahniah, Mr. Boss. Mr. Boss told me that among his first cases is a case in which he was defending a 14 y old boy who murdered a 5 y old girl. The boy certainly did it. But he could got acquitted [due to some sort of conspiracy involving an adult], should had Mr. Boss tried, but Mr. Boss did not. This is because he said that he himself has children of his own. What if kejadian yang berlaku pada the girl happen to his daughter?! Being an ethical lawyer, he still defended the boy, but instead of freeing him, he asked for mitigation, and sent the boy to Henry Gurney school for 5 years in hope that the experience would change the boy for the better [which I doubt]. Now, that's a lawyer with conscience.
