I will call you out on this one. 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.

I don't think I normaly post anarchy type comments. I think that is wrench. I take that back. I know its him. I mostly side with law enforcement. And common sense. 

I will not dispute your word.

Maybe I sounded too harsh. If so, I apologize. I do know you like to stir the pot a bit; you most likely will acknowledge that.

I've been known to express my opinion on a subject.  Not so much anymore. We used to have great discussions here.  Those days are long gone. You have to walk lock step with a couple of rouge groups. 

No worries about apologizing. I have a great deep respect for you. If you put me in line, I needed it.

Just wanted to make sure everyone was paying attention. 

Or it's auto correct fault?

The story I read, it was a protest move because Nixon withheld funding to the Public Defender Program.  Since Nixon was a former Attorney General, he was the obvious first pick.  He is to be tasked to defend a felony thief I believe, but his name is being withheld from the public.

I really don't see any problem, Nixon is a public servant with a law license.  He should just serve his time like anyone else.
