fucking rag of a constitution has one unambiguously good thing and they do this to it

I don't know anything about the public defender system other than it's by-state so going back hundreds of years some states have always been (far) shittier than others. The dems have avoided dealing with this problem. They could pass a bare minimum of federal standards. Of course - they never will. The DOJ has been a sad joke on this.

I feel like calling situations like this a "crisis" makes it sound like a natural disaster rather than an intentionally manufactured one.

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

also makes it sound new and temporary as if this crisis isn't hundreds of years old by now.

A justice system utterly devoid of justice.

America pays public defenders like 50-60k on average lmao

Is it even possible to pay off the average bachelors + law school tuition loan with that money

[–] ButtBidet@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't wish to pigeonhole people, but public defenders whom I've met have had parents able to pay for their tuition.

I mean that make sense, everybody else who wants to be a public defender probably can't even consider it a viable option due to the finances
