Donald Trump Live: "I Regret Rude Chat in 2005"

If you had enough money for an attorney would you let a public defender defend you?

Most public defenders are given to those who do not have the money to hire an attorney. If one hires a private attorney, they are going to do what it takes to get the client off.  Case in point, guy in the town I lived in killed his wife and he hires the best attorney in this town. The attorney he hired has been known to get people a reduced sentence but it is still up to the jury to determine innocence or guilt.

No, the courts appoint them and yes, they can turn them down, I know one who did but he had his own law practice too which may have made it a little different. He said he could not have lived with himself if he had defended this person knowing he was guilty as sin.

Want to bet? They can not turn them down here in the town I live in unless there is a conflict of interest. Most public defenders here don't have their own law practices so why would he have been a public defender. If the courts appoint them, public defenders really don't have much choice in the matter.

He felt he could not do the job of defending him knowing he was guilty and that was good enough for the judge to appoint another PD. He has defended those he knew were guilty in the past but just could not bring himself to do it in this particular case due to the nature of the crime.

By the way, according to www.quora.com, a public defender can not refuse to defend someone unless there is a conflict of interest. That could be the attorney is related to client or has had contact with the person outside of the legal system.

Is that one of those deals where people answer a question in a blog or forum forum rather than the actual law? Don't want to get a bunch of crap from them on my fb page if I log in with it.

No, there is no log in and several other law sites also claimed the same thing. For someone who thinks they know about the law, you don't bother to check things out.

You've got to be kidding? 

Ironic that the same people who claim Trump will uphold the Constitution appear to disagree with so many of its most fundamental principles.

Here is some of what this says: 

Operation

Quora requires users to register with their real names rather than an Internet pseudonym (screen name), and visitors unwilling to log in or use cookies have had to resort to workarounds to use the site.[27] Users may also log in with their Google or Facebook accounts using the OpenID protocol. They can upvote or downvote answers, and suggest edits to extant answers provided by other users. The Quora community includes some well-known people, such as Dustin Moskovitz, Jimmy Wales and Adrián Lamo.[8][28][29][30]

Quora has developed its own algorithm to rank answers, which works similarly to Google PageRank.[31] Quora uses Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud technology to host the servers that run its website.[32][33]
Financials

In March 2010, Quora received funding of $11 million from Benchmark Capital, valuing the start-up at $86 million.[34]

In May 2012, Quora raised $50 million in Series B funds, valuing the firm at over $400 million,[35][36] bringing their total funding to $61 million. Co-founder D'Angelo, who owns 0.8% of Facebook stock, also invested $20 million of his own money in the B round.[36]

In April 2014, Quora announced an $80 million Series C round of funding, valuing the firm at over $900 million. The funding was led by Tiger Global Management.[18][19][20][21]
Reception

Quora was reviewed extensively by the media in 2010.[37][38][39]

According to Robert Scoble, Quora succeeded in combining attributes of Twitter and Facebook.[40] Later, in 2011, Scoble criticized Quora for being a "horrid service for blogging," and although a decent question and answer website, not substantially better than competitors.[41]

In 2010, D'Angelo and Cheever were among five named "Smartest Engineer runner-up" in the "smartest people in the tech" article by CNNMoney.[42] They were also both listed in Inc. magazine's "Top 30 Under-30" entrepreneurs list of 2011.[43][44]

I didn't have to log in or was asked. I put the question in about public defenders refusing clients and it popped up with no they do not have the right along with some other web sites.

And there are a lot of them that think that way.

Indeed...they think hating the Constitution and loving Putin makes them real Americans.

Then use one of the other links 'cause, obviously, you have to log in now and it is just people answering the questions.

The other links say the same thing. Why don't you try looking up stuff for yourself or are you one if those always wanting a handout . Try criminal.lawyers.com or like I said type the question in and you will get your answer.
