Meriwether County Public Defender - Greenville Dusti Bolton: Very skeptical about having a public defender for my indigent loved one from the beginning all the way through the end because without the monetary benefits for the court-appointed defense attorney versus hiring a private attorney, which I highly considered doing and even consulted with a few who were extremely willing to take the case which was being tried, I had a huge doubt that my loved one would be represented fairly.
I stayed on course though, for the benefit of my loved one. No explanation required.
I don’t think the information has been updated in quite a while, as the public defender who represented my loved one is not mentioned as the point of contact for the area of this website; however, I am giving this review for the services provided by Attorney Ryan Fuller, who was the court-appointed defense attorney in the aforementioned case.
I sat in the courtroom, with the exception of a few recesses, for over six hours and had the opportunity to hear Attorney Ryan Fuller defend several cases prior to the case that I was in attendance for.
I heard Attorney Fuller defend, what I believed were obvious grounds of guilt for defendants, yet he still upheld his oath of allegiance to those defendants based on his role as their public defender.
I saw, firsthand, that the challenges he faced from the start were not in his favor in most cases he was obligated to defend, by his profession.
I thought I was mentally exhausted going into this. I honestly don’t believe I could be paid enough to do his job.
With stating all of the above, my loved one was pleased with Attorney Ryan Fuller representing the case, and for me personally, the outcome of my loved one being satisfied with his services is honorable.
Although, justice has not been fully rendered in more ways than one, Attorney Ryan Fuller gets five stars for his role as representation.
I fully understand that he has limitations when it comes to the actions of others who are involved.
