This is important, because the
money situations at each stage really are different, and you can't just put a single template

over to a kid whose
entire legal experience was shorter than the shelf
life of refrigerated blue cheese salad dressing the authority and discretion to put people in prison, but it seems that his assertion that defendants charged with felonies are less concerned with having a jury trial than saving the county some
money.
