minus-squareDeelinkfedilink5•1 year ago Prosecution is broken because there are no public defenders for indigent clients. The courts are broken because nobody can be tried, so they’re released. I agree with everything you said but there was an update on the public defender issue the past couple of months at least. $100M is not as much as we need to address the problem entirely but I always appreciate a step in the right direction, no matter how small.
