   Richard--everyone from judges to mass murdererscalled him Richard, although he always announced himself on the phone as,"This is Casparian"--would always take the worst cases, the unwinnablecases, because it was the right thing to do. I think he wanted to protecthis staff from being associated with these men, from catching or beingcaught up in the evil that emanated from their pores, from public criticismfor being their attorney. Strangely, I never heard any criticism at allabout him because of the murderers that he defended--probably because helost every case. But what a defense he put up for these guys. And how hewas able to separate what had to be a deep-rooted contempt for them fromhis professional duty to represent them as best he could. Never did hesay an angry word about them to me, despite the unspeakable acts some ofthem had committed. He served his clients and the law with a diligenceand a devotion to duty that was inspiring. After speaking with him, whetherit was about good food or about what one of his clients had done, one lefthis presence feeling better about the world, about people, about oneself. He would follow up on his clients even after they were convicted and inprison. On occasion, if one of them truly turned it around, Richard wouldintervene with the sentencing judge years later to get a reduced sentence. And his pay was tzigele bobkes (goat shit). A humble man, a brilliantman, a shy man who was an orator in court, a man who inspired you to bebetter than you were. Richard Casparian

   Although I found all these themes a bitawkward and off-putting, I was able to think about Richard, and how wonderfulit is to know good and righteous people, and it made me cry a little, asI thought about all the good people I have known.
