[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 442547, member: 1514"] well to be honest, Im still iffy on the PD vs the paid lawyer. This young man...he isnt even close to a teen, just committed armed robbery. This on top of various and sundry other offenses he already has on his record. I dont know if any of those other offenses are felonies but all of them will be looked at when it comes time to decide how to both try and sentence this current case. If that armed part of the armed robbery was a gun...oh boy. In those circumstances I might ask around a bit...like the clerk of courts office and ask them if with cases of armed robbery did it make a substantial difference if the defendant had a public defender or a paid lawyer....and ask, where do they get their public defenders from? Can you see who is on the list. You might just find out that some off the best lawyers in your town happen to do some pro bono public defender work...lol. Oh and on the jail calls...take a few weeks and then set up your phone so he can call you and set up a schedule. They have a company that they go through so you can buy so many minutes per however long you want it to last. The last place Cory was in used this place called paytell. It cost me like 25 bucks a month for him to call me and he called 2 or 3 times a week. Calls last 15 minutes. He learned really quick not to get irritable or I hang up. Cutest call ever.....MOMMMMMAAAAAA.......I'mmm Watchin' American Idol JUST LIKE YOU! In the background all the guys are hootin and hoolerin. Going Yo Momma...lmao [/QUOTE]
