A Lighter Side to Legal Rivalries

The State’s Attorney’s and Public Defender’s offices in Jacksonville, Florida had a friendly competition in January to see which office could donate more blood to a local blood drive, the Jacksonville Daily Record reported. Not content with mere bragging rights, the head of the losing office had to kiss a pig during halftime at a local college basketball game. This time around the public defenders won, but I’d be willing to bet the prosecutors will demand a rematch in the future.
