Reply to comment by Itchy_Focus_4500 in Forced Uyghur labor is being used in China's solar panel supply chain, researchers say by chrisdh79

I seriously doubt that unless it was like 40 years ago. There are restrictions on what types of crimes are entitled to a public defender, you have to earn under the federal poverty line in order to qualify for one, and there still aren’t enough defenders for everyone who is eligible.

Well random internet stranger, I just wanted you to know that I, in fact, do not care what you believe. I lived it. Different crime, different criteria. Bottom line, if you have to wait for a lawyer prior to the trial, then it’s worth pointing out, you get what you’re paying for. You may not be tried without legal representation or advice. As I said, not everyone gets what they want, when they want it or how it is done. Everyone, has the same Rights.

Everyone doesn’t have the same rights, that’s the whole point. We essentially have 2 separate justice systems, you have 100% never interacted with it in any way especially not as someone who needed a public defender

Look, I told you that it’s happened to me, more than once.

Just because YOU SAY something, doesn’t mean it is true. I am not gonna explain anything else to you, as you tell me that I’m wrong. Just because you watched an episode of Chicago PD & know someone who once worked in a bodega, didn’t actually make you an expert. Take your younger self outside and, after you pick up your double soy latte and scone, actually make it your daily routine to get your own life. Oh, and fuck off.
