Do ya think someone can get a fair shake from a public defender for a DUI offense?

I also think it depends on the circumstances of the DUI

Was it fair for you to endanger your neighbors?

Was it fair for you to endanger your neighbors?

Is it fair for you to assume the person endangered their neighbors?

yes.

yes.

Then yes, it's fair for the driver to have endangered his neighbors...as long as you live close to him.

Does it have anything to do with one of your previous posts?

Today, SMC Deputy on a motorcycle with radar, Indian Bridge Road, (which by the way has a posted speed limit much lower than what the road is designed for) on the shoulder, under the shade tree, out of site - WTF!? And did you know those motorcycles have lots of storage for flares, zip ties, breathalyzer devices, laptops, guns, etc...?

Who authorized him to put their lives and property in danger?

No, A public defener will "represent" you but will do very poor job of "defending" you.

Yes, but you may have to do your homework. You may have to investigate some cases that were similar to yours, and you may have to be firm about refusing to accept offers for plea deals that come across the table. The public defender is going to be eager to sell you out in my opinion because he or she has bigger and better things to deal with. However, you don't have to accept plea deals that come your way. My guess would be that the longer you hold out and the closer you get to your actual trial date (even the day of), the sweeter your plea deal is going to be. Still, that doesn't mean that you don't want to fight your charge. Like I said, be prepared to do some research and perhaps even help formulate your own defense, because a public defender may not be willing to get involved in the case as much as hired counsel.

Your answer is a contradiction. If you have to "do your homework", What is the public defender doing ?? Is'nt that his job ?

Rumor has it that blowing into the tube before you get to the station has a better chance of getting someone off....
