GA: when in Rome...

The Georgia Public Defender Standards Council is one year old and off to a good start.

Now some may gripe , for instance, that "...the public defender system has replaced a functional indigent defense system designed by Floyd County officials for Floyd County," but really, you know, that's not a bad thing when you remember what used to be considered good enough for "functional." If you read the article, in one northwest corner of the state you can see how things are improving.
