: A Public Defender's Life in Alaska

So, let me tell you something incredibly stupid about practicing law in Alaska. Some clown in the Department of Law has to approve certain plea bargains. I had a DA go to this clown and ask to reduce a very, very serious case of mine. Lots of reasons for that request that I can't get into obviously. The Department of Law clown said 'no'. Now my client is looking at 20 years minimum for a bullcrap charge. Some of Alaska's sentencing laws are total BS, which I will write more about. Tomorrow I am going in to file a half dozen motions I have been sitting on. This is total BS. I may lose but this is going to be total war. Can you tell I'm agitated?
