Yup, used to defend these kinds of cases in the public defender's office. Never had a high profile one. It was pretty much run of the mill kind of people; tech support, mechanic. Normal every day kind of jobs.
The extremely meta "The French Mistake" in Season 6 is one of the best episodes of a show taking the piss out of its actors, storylines, and fans. There's a reason those gifs are still used today.
Former Wisconsin public defender, so many sovereign citizens in the rural areas. Funniest objection I ever saw was during a prosecutor's closing argument where the defendant said "Objection!" and when asked to elaborate said his grounds were "That's a load of bullshit."
As a former public defender in Wisconsin, yeah, the sovereign citizen arguments are familiar. Surprised he hasn't pulled out the "I wasn't driving, I was travelling" as that's hella popular.
The right to face an accuser actually has a recently interesting ruling in the Jensen homicide trial relating to presumption which in no way, shape, or form applies here but it's a cool recent WI Supreme Court ruling relating to hearsay evidence of a dead person. If anyone's wants to learn about some interesting recent criminal rulings in Wisconsin.
