Pay It Forward

You often hear the phrase "pay it forward". There was a movie made about it. According to Wikipedia it means "the concept of asking that a good turn be repaid by having it done to others instead."

I'm not sure if my situation applies, but a man from South Carolina did a really nice thing for my client. My client was accused of something he didn't do. This man from South Carolina witnessed the incident. My client didn't do anything wrong. This man came to court. He drove several hours to court and took time out of his life because it was the right thing to do. He didn't ask for anything. He didn't request to be subpoenaed, he didn't ask for anyone to pay for his gas. He drove several hours because it was the right thing to do. The District Attorney dismissed the case.

The gentleman from a beach city in South Carolina, thank you. It reminds me to pay it forward.
