Given how the rest of the society works, I'd be not surprised that "incompetent" really means "poorly connected" and that the whole system is just a $1.5 million racket to get a "well connected" lawyer to grease your case.
- betterunix 14y agoNo, in this case, incompetent means "incompetent." Public defenders are often inexperienced and overworked, and are notorious for advising their clients to accept plea bargains rather than go to trial.
