What is the name of your state? New Hampshire
My question is pretty simple. I am charged with a misdemeanor class b for disorderly conduct. I won't waste anyones time with details as to how I aquired the charge. When I went to court for my arraignment I was informed by the desk clerk in the downstairs portion of the courthouse that I was not allowed to have court appointed counsel because of my charge.
Am I not allowed to have a public defender because of the charge I've been given?
