Jacqueline Dowd, Orlando based, blogs on the 13th juror:

A poverty lawyer (and, by the way, law professor) comments on social justice issues, news and court decisions ... with a few other random thoughts thrown in here and there

Ms. Dowd is well worth reading on many issues including homelessness. She has been following stories out of our own Olympia amongst others around the nation.

From a Feb. 16th post:

"... the street can reach and grab some people:" Two of my homeless clients here in Orlando are worrying me these days. One wants desperately to get off the street, but he has some issues that make it very hard to find a place for him. The other could go into shelter (if not more permanent housing) tonight, if only I could convince her to go.

I fear the street will grab one or both of them. When the phone rings late at night, I'm afraid someone is calling me to come and identify the body.
