Somebody please tell @conradjwilson at OPB that last year I attended an event at the Clinton Theater called “Know Your Rights,” by Defense Fund PDX to give advice on what to do if arrested in Portland. Someone asked what the financial threshold was to qualify for a court-appointed attorney. One of the defense attorneys replied he knew a second-degree burglary defendant who made $109,000 a year and still qualified. “Most people in Portland will qualify for a public defender,” the attorney from Defense Fund PDX said.
