This is great, but most people in such situations are still too emotional to help themselves.
I think public defenders should also get compensated with the salary of the prosecutor for any cases they win. Will stop prosecutors from being activist, as well as give the PD an incentive to not just jump through hoops. Prosecutors lose their salary for lost cases. PDs continue to get their standard salary for losses, as do prosecutors who win.
