- olalonde 11y agoThat article says the US has legal aid...
- dragonwriter 11y agoLegal aid (which the US has) does not fix the problem in all cases, though it mitigates it somewhat.
- roel_v 11y agoPlease show me one country where there is 'legal aid' to the tune of 200k where the legal case is basically 'yeah so I totally did what I was charged with, law is totally clear but I should still receive a lesser sentence because <political reason>'. Look, I'm fine with people advocating through the judicial process, but all things considered, of all people who are 'disadvantaged' in their legal proceedings and should 'deserving' of receiving government-sponsored legal aid (because there already is legal aid in this case, to the tune of <however much this amount in OP says right now>), this case's (and defendant's) scorecard looks pretty weak.
