Trials of any sorts bring on a heavy workload for both prosecuting and defense attorneys.

From reading through thousands of documents, setting up and meeting with witnesses. Simply just trying to get everything in place.

"It's a lot like herding cats trying to get everybody on the same page and it's quite difficult sometimes to get everybody on that same page," said Josh Jones.

Assistant State's Attorney Josh Jones says sometimes, this can cause stress levels to spike.

"I think anybody who tells you otherwise has never been a trial attorney before," Jones said. "There is a lot of stress in making sure you keep all those balls in the air."

Sometimes, it is the preparation of the trial itself that affects attorneys, but in some cases, it is the things you see and hear.

Drew Schnack has been an attorney for over 40 years and recalls working many trials that were very disturbing, but one in particular that hit close to home.

"Years ago, I represented a very very nice young man who killed his four year old daughter and I happened to have a four year old daughter at the same time," Schnack said. "I read the autopsy reports and I knew how she died and it was very gruesome."

Many people may assume attorneys are used to dealing with these types of situations, but Schnack says attorneys are humans too.

"When it came time to for the pictures, I couldn't and didn't look at those pictures," said Schnack. "While you have to have a thick hide, there are limits and some cases you walk away with feeling a lot worse than others."

Josh Jones was the lead prosecutor in the Bliefnick Murder Trial and his team went on to win the trial.

Jones says no matter the outcome in any trial, there is never really anything to celebrate.

"There's not really a sense of relief," said Jones. "There's a sense that we got it accomplished and that we got a good result, but win or lose, it's not a good thing."

Not only do attorneys take on the stress of working trials, but they also deal with criticism from the public.

Jones made a statement following the Bliefnick Murder Trial regarding social media comments against his counterpart.

He says every attorney goes through the same things, so it is important to always be there for one another.

"I am absolutely going to have the back of not just Casey, but any of my fellow attorneys," Jones said. "If somebody attacks somebody in this office, we're going to have their back or if somebody attacks a member of the Adams County Bar, we are absolutely going to have their back because, again, we're all a part of the same profession and we have to have each other's back."
