1. As of 2007, four states’ ENTIRE INDIGENT DEFENSE BUDGET were “single-digit millionaires.” Maine: $9.6M ND: $5M SD: $8.8M WY: $8.9Mhttps://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/793116547648724993 …

Peter Thiel, verbatim: "If you're a single-digit millionaire like Hulk Hogan, you have no effective access to our legal system."

2. Those four states are home to over 2.6 million ppl today, almost all of whom, per Peter Thiel, lack effective access to lawyering.

3. It’s really hard to emphasize how very, very LITTLE we spend on indigent defense, despite 80% of all ppl facing prison time qualifying.
