Which is why the court appoints you one.
Have you also succumbed to the "Blame the victim" mentality?
The first night she spent in jail was solely the fault of the police. The subsequent nights were at least partially her own fault.
Lol, you obviously haven't been detained for anything yet. Court appointed lawyers are crap with a capitol P. Even money says one was appointed for her and he/she/it did just what they always do... Nada..

“Which is why the court appoints you one.”
She said she never got her “first appearance.” That is a crime of the local police - its a constitutional right to get an arraignment for an arrest within 48 hours. She can’t get appointed an attorney if she can’t get an appearance before a judge. That police dept is 100% to blame and she does have a case.
