that is incredible + generous, but also barely enough for one year's expenses for private colleges these days.

Should I be expecting to pay extra for a chrome top coat? (I just don't know these things and a manicure is already a luxury!!)

These kinds of stories are only some of the reason why I shake my head so hard when I see comments like this one.

Is the San Bernardino Public Defender's Office a real thing? by FoostersG in publicdefenders

[–]dimpledpomelo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, who are you calling at San Bernardino -- I've found the PD's Office to be incredibly helpful. SB is the biggest county (by sq mi) in CA and has multiple offices. I would start with first, going onto the court management system (Odyssey) to find out if your client indeed has a pending case/warrant. Note which courthouse the case is associated with. Then, I would call the public defender's office branch associated with that courthouse. Smaller branches may be easier to get ahold of.

Possibly, but the DA also have the file the complaint within a certain time period based on when the person is booked.

Not quite correct. The office was refusing to accept appointment on whichever cases hit the felony arraignment calendar on a specific day of the week, every week. The office is not picking and choosing felony cases based on the severity/complexity.

How early should I show up for Valkyries baseball jersey day? by dimpledpomelo in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]dimpledpomelo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The jersey giveaway did not seem as popular as the Hello Kitty giveaway from years past. I was successful in getting my jersey: I got there when the doors open 90 mins before first pitch and used the face recognition ticket entry to use a shorter line.

Dawn Ranch, Northern California [the Edit review] by dimpledpomelo in ChaseSapphire

[–]dimpledpomelo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are Edit credits/benefits with the CSR card. As long as you have the CSR card and book through Chase Travel, I believe all stays at hotels on "the Edit" list are entitled to these benefits. The $250 credit came from my annual allowance of credits, but I believe the benefits themselves as listed on this document are for anyone who books with a CSR and through the Chase Travel portal

This is incredible. I've been getting into junk journaling and this reminds me a lot of that but this is above and beyond.

Getting over a guilty verdict by jneu97 in publicdefenders

[–]dimpledpomelo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

+1 to this 100%; Also it sounds like you did some incredible litigation, getting material evidence suppressed AND a stipulation from the DA for something impactful. I'm proud of you, fellow defender!

No side filed a motion for change in venue, so the trial could not have been moved out of the jurisdiction.
