Chief Grey Bear Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 How about using a little more Andy Griffith justice and less writing tickets for everything to increase revenue? I'll bet half of the case load is BS charges anyway. fishinwrench 1 Chief Grey Bear Living is dangerous to your health Owner Ozark Fishing Expeditions Co-Owner, Chief Executive Product Development Team Jerm Werm Executive Pro Staff Team Agnew Executive Pro Staff Paul Dallas Productions Executive Pro Staff Team Heddon, River Division Chief Primary Consultant Missouri Smallmouth Alliance Executive Vice President Ronnie Moore Outdoors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flysmallie Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Meanwhile the scumbag that kidnapped, molested and murdered Hailey Owens in Springfield has his public defenders complaining that they haven't had enough time to prepare for his trial this fall.

Chief Grey Bear Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Yeah they're just sucking the free tax payer money.

ness Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 I don't know anything about Nixon, or have an opinion on him. I know he's a democrat, but I don't care a hoot that. But it just tickles me to see a politician have to squirm Daryk Campbell Sr, tho1mas and Jerry Rapp 3 John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't normally react to your anarchy remarks, but in this case they are wrong and demeaning. Public defenders are paid less than lawyers working in firms, they have no budget to investigate, and a caseload greater than the district attorneys' offices. Some go there for courtroom experience - you get that real fast. Some go seeking to do the right thing. The ones who stay more than a couple of years are committed. When I practiced, I was a regular appointee by the federal judges. I was in a position where I could not gracefully say no. I was paid $20 an hour up to a total of $1000 dollars for work where my normal rate was $100 to $200 an hour. Trust me on this, you do not go into indigent defense for the money.

ness Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Read another article on this that claimed MO paid a lot less than other states too. Sure sounds like a powder keg. tho1mas 1 John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
