Crap legal advice from lawyers is far too common and it sucks. I grew up in a gang area, so I know several people who’ve gotten public defenders. Every one I’ve heard of has been overworked to the point of just suggesting they try to plea deal out because mounting an actual defense would take too much time away from the other cases on their docket.
The general reaction I get to that is 'oh well, why should I care about a gang member’s civil rights" and it’s infuriating that we’re so happy to assume guilt before it’s proven in court.
PD do what is is easier on them, because they have so much of a caseload, if they can get thing dones quicker they would take it,. they are similar to uni advisors, they give bad advice to students which only hurts thier futures.

You know the old joke in prison: what’s the difference between a rooster and a public defender?
A rooster clucks defiance, a public defender fucks de clients.
Fuck those people. If gang members don’t have civil rights then I only have civil privileges that can be taken away with the wrong accusations
