More Problems in Massachusetts -- Hundreds of Criminals may be Released
« on: August 02, 2025, 02:55:21 PM »
Public Defenders in Massachusetts have staged a walk-out. 

Right now, over a hundred cases have been summarily dismissed in one county, because a defense attorney has not been assigned for over 45 days as required by law.

There's no Public Defender's union, so negotiating is a cluster.  The lawyers are asking for what amounts to over a 50% raise.

the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
