Public
Defenders engage in the bare-knuckled fight to preserve the rights of
murderers, rapists, robbers, pedophiles and other accused felons. Ninety
percent of criminal cases tried in the U.S. are tried by Public Defenders
- they are the last line of defense against America’s dehumanizing,
racist, lock-em-up-and-throw-away-the-key approach to justice. But that
doesn’t make them saints.
No TV series has accurately revealed the chaotic and arbitrary nature
of the american criminal justice system or the spectrum of flawed people
who collide in that arena. Devils’ Angels takes a candid and controversially
honest look at this world - from the uniquely conflicted and complex
point of view of the public defender.
