The Public Defender doesn't give a shit about you.

They also don't give a shit if you're truly innocent or guilty. They just want the case to be as easy as possible while also establishing their effectiveness so they can join a wealthy private law firm.

I mean, a lawyer shouldn't, public defender or no. Their job is to argue a case, not to be the judge.

And public defenders are human beings as well, if you can make yourself a human being to them and not just a task they have to complete in order to get a paycheck then you stand a much better chance of getting high quality representation.
