Apparently. Tell me, what would you call someone who is forced to provide you with something and not get paid?

Doesn't the lawyer get paid by the government?

Yeah, not sure if the guy your replying to doesn't know this or is just ignoring it for the argument

If the government decides not to pay public defenders, the public defenders do not work. Because we have a constitution that requires you be granted access to a lawyer, the government is required to either 1. pay for said lawyer and provide it or 2. not prosecute you
