"In some ways I'm still recovering from the trial. My health is not as good as it ought to be. I've gone back to practicing law and it seems to have taken a toll for whatever reason"

Christopher Darden's quote reflects the physical and emotional toll that the trial had on him. He acknowledges that his health is not as great as it ought to be, which returning to practicing law has taken a toll on him. This suggests that the trial was a challenging experience for him, and that he is still recuperating from it. It is most likely that the trial was emotionally and psychologically draining for him, and that the tension of the trial has had a long lasting effect on his health. It is clear that the trial was a challenging experience for him, and that he is still recuperating from it.
