      I genuinely think this would be amazing. For a member of the elite to be forced to be defended in the way in which the poorest and lowest in our society often are would just be too perfect.

          Maybe for a normal case but for a case like his he’ll probably get what would be equivalent to a public defender from your local jurisdiction in that they won’t have time to check every box nor the expertise in this specific field.
