Melina Nassour Present it to your client.
Roman J. Israel, Esq. His name is Langston. He's a high school junior in good standing. Plays on the soccer team. All of this despite that his father's in jail. His mother is in drug treatment. And due to a legion of forces beyond his control, he joined a gang for acceptance, family, and protection. He has one prior minor offense. Each one of us is greater than the worst thing we've ever done. Deep bows.
Melina Nassour Please, talk to your client.
Roman J. Israel, Esq. My conviction rate's 100 percent.
