    I took it more as a calling out that most public defenders do just churn out plea deals, not as praising them for doing so.

      I had a public defender once and they pushed hard to take a plea, like hard hard. If I had the money for a real lawyer, it would have been in my favor.

        I believe it. Reading comprehension is not great overall. Couple that with folks that like being angry, and you’ll have people responding to whatever interpretation makes them angry, even if it isn’t close to what was said.
