It's a slow and not at all linear process; and many capital defendants have horrible childhood experiences and family backgrounds. Investigation opens windows into those experiences, and you meet people who were there with your client, as perpetrators, witnesses, or fellow victims, and see the damage that life has done to them. I wanted to capture that reality, that sadness, and how it feels to work a case in real life.(less)
