I wasn't surprised to find Mrs. Lieberman's public defense attorney waiting outside when I got to the Birch Street Nursing Home this morning. She didn't seem as happy as she was last week. When we got inside, she told Mrs. Lieberman that the district attorney wouldn't budge, since there was so much evidence against her, including video footage from the museum of her taking the 16th-century vase. She urged Mrs. Lieberman again to take the plea deal. But instead, Mrs. Lieberman fired her and announced she would represent herself. Mrs. Lieberman immediately began drafting a letter to the judge requesting an extension, and left me in charge of the poker game.
