Happy Gideon Day! You can honor the day by reading about how one public defender trained at the PDS for DC and became a ferocious critic of the criminal justice system and helped jumpstart indigent defense reform in Georgia. As I wrote about his time at PDS: “Bright built a reputation as a talented and well-prepared public defender. When he had a trial, word would spread like wildfire through the courthouse.” https://a.co/d/hESXv1a

I offer not legal advice but a warning to learn about one’s rights as well as the limits of free speech.
