Do you think the courts are independent?

Followup question:

Do you think public defenders are given adequate funding to ensure they can give proper defense to their clients?

[AnimalMuppet]

Yes, I think courts are independent. No, I do not think that public defenders are adequate.

[chaps]

What would you change to make public defense more adequate?

[AnimalMuppet]

I'm not an expert, but I think it would probably start with funding. I think they're massively overworked, and as a result they do an inadequate job for each defendant.
