Lauren Boebert's Son Still Doesn't Have a Lawyer, Judge Calls Out Slow Movement

[demmiblue]

It's been over two months since Tyler Boebert was arrested on felony theft charges, and he still doesn't have a lawyer.

...

Representative Lauren Boebert’s eldest son appeared in court today, May 9, to announce whether he’s scrounged up enough cash to hire a lawyer to represent him in his felony theft case, or if he's decided to get a public defender — neither of which he's figured out yet, to the judge's dismay.

“I have now sent...um, I can’t remember what...like, the document to sign up for a public defender," Tyler told 9th Judicial District Judge John F. Neiley. "I’ve sent it in. I haven’t gotten a message back, but it was very recently. It was only a couple days ago."

Back on April 11, Neiley had instructed Tyler to apply for a public defender right away in order to save time while he looked for an attorney in his price range after the nineteen-year-old claimed he was having a hard time affording one.

"I wish you had turned in that application a little sooner," Neiley told Tyler. "If you’ve done that, you just have to wait for the public defender to make their decision. We can continue it to the June 13 docket."
