[QUOTE="Lil, post: 645226, member: 17309"] You know I WAS a public defender a hundred (or 25) years ago...and I sucked. I really did. I admit it. I plea bargained virtually every case. But that's what you do because, lets face it, virtually every single one is guilty! My son may be guilty too. I don't know. But there were a few we actually tried and we won too. So I don't know. PD's are so overworked, that unless the case is an open and shut winner or their client just refuses a plea, they do tend to just work out the best deal they can and move on down the road. The fact is, PA's are more likely to work with and pay attention to hired counsel...if only because they figure the defendant is already being punished by paying the bill. At least, that was my experience back then. I don't really know. I sent him a text today and told him where the PD's office was and that he needed to go apply for their services. I also told him which church's food pantry is open today. He thanked me then asked if we had an RCA adapter he could use because he has a VCR and a giant TV to hook up. How he got it I don't know, maybe on the curb, but in any event my response was that he had more important things to worry about than TV. *** I feel this is the time I should be lifting my skirts like a pirate lady...but I'm just not up to it. :sad-very: [/QUOTE]
