I haven’t asked so no clue. Honestly if i did know, I wouldn’t post it here anyways. It just causes more frustration and problems in the thread

Seems like if he had bonded out the media would have reported it already

Don't think he's bonding out, at least not immediately.

Gonna be a long night for G-Man

Gonna be a helluva case of anxiety once he bonds out and is just sitting around waiting to go to trial. Knowing you are most likely done for.

a criminal case cannot be settled with money but the possible civil suit against him can be.

Some public defenders are damn good lawyers. The problem is their caseload doesn’t allow them to spend enough time on each individual case, which is a failure more of how we fund PD offices than it is on the individual attorney.

Yeah, I completely agree. I wasn't intending to make them sound like shitty lawyers. I just always knew a public defender was the cheap route and its better, if you can afford it, to have a full-time lawyer.

Was he repped by a PD today?

Which attorney showed up on his behalf today?
Any opinions of their abilities to handle this type of case?

The New Orleans Public Defenders these days are almost entirely from Top 15 law schools and excellent students (at least at the associate level or whatever they are callled).
Super motivated and high achieving and very liberal.

But would you trust one of them if you were the defendant in this case? Experience might be really important for such a serious case.

Lindsey Williams I think was said.

About a 10% chance that case gets tried, and that's only if he and/or the victim's family are unreasonable. Assuming the current stuff is in the realm of truth, 20 would be his best case, 35 is the likely offer with room to move to 30, and 40 is the high end of the plea.

No idea.
Jason Williams still accepting cases? He may be on my short list as well. tLSU have a pretty good list somewhere in this thread

P. Lindsay Williams. He is a good guy was a Jefferson public defender I think and has some experience, maybe not in a "celebrity trial" but I know he will work hard.
You could certainly do worse but wondering if it would be better for him to have a black attorney for the Orleans parish jury.

Yikes. Then again, he can get out at 60 if he takes 35 years (likely less with good behavior), work 5 or so years, and have enough credits to start receiving social security.
Better than life in prison.

The OPD has significantly improved in the past decade. If I had a big stack of money, would I pick them? No. But I tell people all the time that several of them are much better than a bunch of your mid level private attorneys running around the building. Look at what the two public defenders did in Corkfather's case against the second Lee brother compared to how Christensen (conflict panel, so a private attorney contracted with by OPD for that case) did.
Their biggest problems tend to be connecting with jurors here. That, and the initial time it takes to shake off the "all these people are innocent" idealism they sometimes arrive here with.

Good guy and talented attorney, but not on this case. You saw that in Cardell Hayes, which was a more favorable set of facts than this in a lot of ways.
If the ID of the perp isn't at issue, he's not your guy on a victim case. Just opinion.
