Public Defenders Cry Out Against Poor Earnings

The public defenders that were assigned to the high-profile YSL RICO case are reportedly unhappy with their earnings.

According to reports, they are only being paid $15,000 for their work on the case, which involves representing several individuals accused of participating in a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) scheme.

While public defenders are typically paid by the state or government, the amount they receive can vary widely depending on the jurisdiction and case. In this instance, some defenders have expressed frustration at the relatively low pay they are receiving for their work on such a high-profile case.

One defender was quoted as saying, “It’s demoralizing to know that we’re working so hard on this case and making so little money. I could make more as a cashier at Chick-Fil-A.”

While it’s unclear whether any action will be taken to address the defenders’ concerns, this situation highlights the challenges faced by public defenders who often work long hours and handle heavy caseloads for relatively low pay.
