The discussion revolves around an individual who sold a Michael Jordan rookie card to Jon Moreno, who later turned out to be involved in a series of forgeries. After cashing a check from Moreno, the individual was arrested and faced felony charges related to the bad check, despite being a victim of Moreno's scam. The individual expressed frustration over the legal system, particularly with public defenders who seemed uninterested in their case. They detailed the impact of the arrest on their life, including job loss and complications in a custody battle for their daughter. The thread includes suggestions from other users on how to navigate the legal challenges, emphasizing the need for evidence that supports the individual's innocence, such as fingerprints on the check and the possibility of contacting previous legal representatives. There is a call for media attention to highlight the injustice faced by the individual, as well as discussions about the systemic issues with public defense and the challenges of proving innocence in cases involving forged checks.

As far as I know, when charged with a felony, one either pays for a lawyer in full or has to deal with the public defender. All pro-bono or sliding-scale legal services only represent misdemeanors, and often not even domestic cases.

tribdog, everyone here who knows you even a little wants justice for you, and not to fear. I pray that the judge recognizes your innocence.
