Some San Francisco drug dealers make $350,000 every year, still get free legal defense in court: Report
Fox News
A politician is shining light on the justice system after a report revealed that some drug dealers make $350,000 per year but still can receive free legal counsel.
"Do street-level drug dealers who ‘can make as much as $350,000 a year — or even more if they help run a local operation’ receive taxpayer-funded legal services to defend their criminal cases in San Francisco?" Dorsey asked on Twitter Tuesday. Jeffrey Clark is an associate editor for Fox News Digital. He has previously served as a speechwriter for a cabinet secretary and as a Fulbright teacher in South Korea. Jeffrey graduated from the University of Iowa in 2019 with a degree in English and History.

Dorsey also suggested that wealthy defendants might not deserve publicly founded legal aid. "The 6th Amendment and S.F. Charter ensure free lawyers to those who can’t afford them. Yes, EVERY indigent defendant deserves publicly funded legal counsel. But shouldn’t ONLY indigent defendants deserve publicly funded counsel?"
