Locals skeptical over push to overhaul indigent defense

It looks like the days of court appointed attorneys helping to railroad their clients into plea bargaining up here in Northern Michigan may be over. I have experienced this for myself and heard so many horror stories of  many of these attorneys colluding with the court to screw their client.

The court apparently doesn't like the idea of oversight. I wonder why ? And this is not a "free service(?)" because the accused gets stuck with ridiculous fines and court costs.

I am sure that there are still some decent attorneys out there who haven't sold their soul for a few bucks. I just wish that they would police themselves and try to stop wrongdoing in the courts when they see it.

 Our country is being destroyed from within because nobody has a spine any longer and choose to turn a blind eye to evil  in exchange for a decent life for themselves and theirs, without another thought given to those victimized by our justice system who make their lifestyle possible.
