Message | Nope, sorry. I believe that each and every person has the right to a fair trial paid for by the state. If the state didn't pay for legal representation, the defendant more likely than not would not get fair representation. The benefits of state paying for representation outweigh the benefits of not paying for it. |

Message | "Justice ain't for sale" pretty much says it all. In fact, I'd support having the state pay for ALL lawyers. |
