Gisell Roche I’m from Hillsborough County I understand that the norms are different in each county but I will say that without a doubt the people in that office are the rudest people I have ever spoken to before. Public defender doesn’t bother to communicate with her clients. Her assistant is beyond rude when speaking to you. you try to have a normal conversation and you get badgered saying that you’re arguing. It’s pointless to work there if you’re gonna be miserable and not help people out. I’m so sorry to the assistant to the public defenders or to the public defenders but if you guys are so miserable working there, quit and find a different job because you guys aren’t doing your job and helping people out at all. all you’re doing is sending innocent people to jail because you don’t communicate.

Chris After setting 3rd pretrial date, after thanking the judge I headed out the courtroom. As I was moving through the door, the Public pretender said she was waving my right to speedy trial. I turned with obvious confusion and the judge dismissed me. The date is set after the 90 days, but that is not my problem to pay for with my liberty. She had no right to sacrifice my rights to please the state. Theres no reasonable excuse to allow this. The justice department needs to find proper funding to adhere to my rights or drop cases. Neither side is ready and the judge even displayed that in the court with her questions. Im sure its all on video.
