evidence: I could not begin to count the number of awkward directs and disastrous crosses I have been part of or observed in DWI cases. I often saw the same awful techniques and bad habits applied by trial attorneys, myself included, and officer witnesses in the very next outing—it was the very definition of insanity (as Albert Einstein put it, "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"). As I stood there in Portland, speechless, my brain raced. Professional sports teams begin practice every week looking at film of the last game. Why do we not use the same strategy? Of course, I know the answer: As prosecutors we are already thinking about the next case. If we won, we are ready to go back to the office to brag. If we lost, we just want to disappear. The long and short of it is that we squander an excellent chance to improve our skills and the abilities of our officer witnesses. [...] Officers generally don’t go through the effort to make an arrest when it is not justified. Prosecutors don’t generally try defendants who should be acquitted. But investigative, advocacy, and trial mistakes explain most of our losses at trial. If we fail to correct those mistakes when we identify them, we are doomed to suffer more such losses, resulting in injustice. And repeated injustice is insanity.
