Bowie said he garnered what he called a national following after tweeting about Tamara Lich’s bail hearing. His Twitter account was way busier than his legal practice. Bowie said his time spent on Twitter was no excuse, “but I do hope you’ll see that my full and substantive response, while late, comes in the context of a number of events I’m having a giant pity party about. The courts are closed. Crime is down. … I got famous. Could I have responded sooner? Yes, I could have. Please accept my apology for not responding sooner.
