Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
State of Georgia: Qualifications for a public defender are based on personal income. A public defender is typically reserved for those having an income of 125% the poverty line or less in the State of Georgia.
The notion that he requires "out-of-state" representation is likely because his crew (Trump et al.) are trying to railroad a particular counsel for him. The reasons for that can vary, but the rationale aside, the crew seems unwilling to finance representation for him.
The Judge in this case seems unsympathetic to the development, which I would say good. These cretins have routinely abused the judicial system with their unfounded election fraud cases, none of them should be given benefit of the doubt. The more prosecutors splinter the crew, the more likely they'll have someone turning State's evidence.
Poverty level for a family of four in Georgia is about 27k.
You mean to tel me that an income of 34k for a family of four is too wealthy for a public defender?
In all seriousness, fuck this country.
In what world is $34k not considered poverty levels for a family of 4 in the USA? WTF?
Don't you need a lawyer who is licensed in the state? Why would you want to fly in a lawyer from out of state, even if you could afford it?
Great answer. Thank you.
