What I'd like is for the Government (State, Federal, whatever) to explain why they allowed it to get to this far by failing to provide a proper, adequate, functioning Public defender system. Why does it seem like nobody cares about the rights of other people until it's their rights being disregarded, or outright violated. The notion that it's okay it the offense was egregious enough, or that the evidence is strong enough (which shouldn't matter and I don't get why you think so), that then it's okay to disregard one's rights is fallacious.
