James is being represented by Ontario County Public Defender Carrie Bleakley, who feels there is much to be questioned about how the case has been handled.
I pity the guy. He's got a PD and worse, she just 'feels' the case is questionable.
Give her credit. That’s more than a lot of them do. Especially in Ontario County. The county was sued a few years ago and the state courts ruled their previous assigned counsel program was so deficient that it amounted to a denial of the sixth amendment.
