>> I think the best part is giving a case your all, you know,
and you're sort of like a community mediator in some sense.
And you work with defense, you work with the victims, you look at the criminal,
the defendant's criminal record, and you got to think what's good for the state here,
what's good for the commonwealth.
And also you take into consideration things
like the rehabilitative needs of the actual defendant.
Is this person who can't-- is this a person who can be rehabilitated
who can be entered back in society?
And you learn to take in a multitude of factors to try and make the best decision
for once single incident and when you learn to do that and you learn to learn with the victims,
you get everybody into one room at one time, you know, sometimes it just amounts
to a jury trial or a non-jury trial.
Or sometimes it amounts to a plea bargain where everyone's happy on all sides.
So, just finishing something like that.
Having resolution.
Having a mini project like a criminal case that can last months or even years.
You're constantly coming into scenarios where there's resolution and you have closure
for the victims and when you get closure for a victim or for families of a victim and they come
into you-- or the come up to you after the trial and they shake your hand and they say thank you
so much, you did the best you could.
Or you did a really great job, I'm glad.
This is the perfect resolution for us and our family, thank you and they shake your hand.
That's a great feeling that-- that's what you live for to be a prosecutor.
