What I found most hilarious IAAL, was the writer giving you the ultimatum.

My response:

Can you believe that? I was laughing so hard with that one, that my milk spurted out of my nose!

Yeah and the icing on the cake was the revisiting of the skank comment.

Chains
The Cookies

Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains
And they ain't the kind that you can see-ee-ee-ee
Whoa, oh, it's chains of lo-o-ove
Got a hold on me, yeah

Chains, well, I can't break away from these chains
I can't run around 'cause I'm not free-ee-ee-ee
Whoa, oh, these chains of lo-o-ove
Won't let me be, yeah

Now, believe me when I tell you "I think you're fine"
I'd like to love you but, darling, I'm imprisoned by these

Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains
And they ain't the kind that you can see-ee-ee-ee
Whoa, oh, it's chains of lo-o-ove
Got a hold on me, yeah

I wanna tell you, pretty baby, "your lips look sweet"
I'd like to kiss them but I can't break away from all of these

Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains
And they ain't the kind that you can see-ee-ee-ee
Whoa, oh, it's chains of lo-o-ove

OK. I have a serious question...

In California.... you get to CHOOSE which public defender represents you? Isn't public defender another name for "court appointed attorney"? Where I'm from, there are certain attorneys that the city has on retainer as public defenders, indigent counsel, whatever term ya want to use. Then, when they have an indigent defendant, they appoint one of those attorneys as counsel. There is no pick and choose on the Defendant's part. You get who they give you.

Is it different in California?

 

[I AM ALWAYS LIABLE]

My response:

You're right, BLCM. I was going to comment on Son-of-Slam's response because he doesn't know anything about California law, but I decided earlier not to because it just wasn't worth my time.

However, since you've asked, an indigent defendant doesn't "get his/her choice" and doesn't get to "test" anything about their assigned attorney. The court appoints the attorney from the criminal defense attorney list, and that attorney is "it". There's no testing or changing, or anything else. If a defendant doesn't like the assigned attorney, then that's tough crap.

ca penal code 192.5a

 

[Whyte Noise]

Thanks IAAL

I didn't know if maybe different states did it different ways. Appreciate the clarification.

"ca penal code 192.5a"

===================================

My response:

We have no factual information from our writer that Ca Penal Code section 192.5a has any applicability to the case; i.e., we have no information that the reason they were on the boat was for the purpose of ". . . the commission of an unlawful act."

All we have is that "the boat capsized and the multiple anchor chains that were on the deck of the boat entangled the guest and the guest drowned."

For all we know, they were on a pleasure cruise, and not the commission of a crime, and THEN someone was killed. Our writer makes it out to be an "accident", but gives no information about "why" the detective is charging the friend with the guests' death.

Okay, ketchmeknot - - you were successful in quoting my last response to you. Did you have a comment?

So. what part did you think I was being serious about IAAL?

There are many tests available for use in choosing a public defender. You need to administer a few tests to all of the public defenders in order to choose the very best one. The different tests help you find out about the different traits that help to make a public defender a real asset to your case. His ability to pay attention and not act spontaneously and thoughtlessly is a large factor in how his presentations in court will be perceived. Is he hot headed or cool as a cucumber? Is he a workaholic in pursuit of career fulfillment or merely a slacker? Dose he actually know the law or dose he merely memorize the parts he knows you will ask about? Does he give a rats rear or is he just waiting for 4:20? The final test should always be the deciding factor of enny menny minny moe, because as the saying goes, " A public defender has a fool for a client."
