The receptionist was okay with me perusing their wardrobe, but the public defender herself came up and asked me who was going to get the clothes. Not just a public defender, but the public defender, the county official in charge of the office. She told me she would not let my client wear one of her office’s shirts because he “dissed” one of her lawyers. I got to spend a morning recess shopping for my client.

Kinda makes you wonder how ardently and diligently THE Public Defender defends her clients. I suppose (having been “dissed” MANY times in my practice) that there would be several clients who got less than stellar representation – at least based upon what is alleged…
SAD.
