Except, it's hard to qualify for those public defenders, I couldn't afford a lawyer if i were involved in a case, and yet I make about 20k too much a year to qualify for a public defender here in indiana. On top of that, public defenders are incredibly overburdened, carrying hundreds of cases at a time, and spending an average of a few minutes on each case in some municipalities.
