I've always admired the ethic of professional soldiers — under no circumstances do you leave a colleague on the field of battle. In terms criminal lawyers understand, no split verdict — a verdict composed of not guilty verdicts on some charges and guilty verdicts on others — can be counted a win if you leave your client behind in the lock-up at trial's end.
Little did I know this ethic could also apply powerfully to friends engaged in ordeals not usually nearly so life-changing as war or trial.
