Title:

Interesting Charge for Public Defender

Description:

An interesting case in Texas has cropped up recently which involves the potential contempt charge against a public defender who was supposed to be in two different court rooms at the same time and when he only showed up for one court session he was informed that the courts would possibly seek charges against him. While these circumstances are probably rare for the average Philadelphia PA criminal attorney, it does call into question how busy public defenders are when they're unable to keep all of their appointments for each client they're assigned since it might be difficult to give each client an appropriate defense.
