Yes. Very much so. You?


I have enough experience to recognize that public defenders are overextended and are often unable to provide the level of defense they would like to due to enormous caseloads and lack of resources.

Oh hey. I actually thought of you the other day. I was in a meeting with a bunch of stakeholders for something. A formerly incarcerated man was also there and actually said, “People in prison are traumatized. Being in prison is traumatizing.” I didn’t get the chance to tell him he’s wrong, though.

You should have asked him for details.
What did he do to go to prison anyway, does he regret what he did?
What parts of being in prison are traumatizing, how often is it traumatizing.

Its not shocking that the type of people who violate laws hate laws.

Thats why they are in prison.

But seriously beyond the vague trust me, do you want to be detailed about specifics?

If there is an aspect of prison that requires reform, it does no good to be vague.

There's a pretty easy fix to this


Are you under the impression that no one has ever been exonerated?

Wrong. That’s just a myth to claim ineffective assistance of counsel.

What is your experience?

I’m not arguing about case law. I’m arguing that years-long pretrial detention is bullshite and shouldn’t happen. I’m arguing that our cj system is abusive and broken.

Are you at all familiar with the criminal justice system? Do you have any first hand experience?


That's not an answer.

If the attorney for the guy y'all are discussing didn't inform his client that he could push for a speedy trial, I don't know whether that would rise to the level of malpractice or not, but clearly it was his deliberate legal strategy to not do so for whatever reason.

Maybe he told his client why or maybe he didn't. But it was obviously a deliberate legal strategy.

Are you aware that studies show that public defenders get slightly better outcomes than private attorneys?

3,698 known exonerations since 1989 out of 11 million who have been imprisoned during that same time frame.

Do the math

The fact that the trial took so long.

They could have easily sped it up if they had wanted to.

It’s actually working great for defendants. Not so great for victims.

I don’t know sentencing laws anywhere, especially not in NY. But his charges were dropped. You’re insinuating guilt.

Every public defender knows about the Right to a Speedy Trial. None push it because it’s stupid to do so.
