Jefferson County Prosecuting Office Put On the Court Record that Michael Allmain is Indigent

Julie St. Marie, Prosecuting Attorney Jefferson County Washington PUTS on the Record, Michael Allmain is Clearly Indigent.

Ok So Here is a Mystery for Ya in the Michael Allmain Case. How in the World Does a Guy Get a Guilty Plea because the Court Has NO Record, as a Matter of Law supposedly, that he was Indigent, in other words he had no ability to pay for an Attorney?

Well there is a Process, Be it Civil or Criminal Cases, for documents, filings, attorneys to be given free to a litigant (Defendant in this case), that Defendant must Apply to the Court for a “Determination of Indigency”. And to receive said attorney for free that Litigant / Defendant MUST be GRANTED said application by the Court to receive an attorney appointed by the Court.

The Litigant applies and the Court (the Presiding Judge) either Grants the Indigency Status or the Court Rejects the Status, as a matter of law and court record (Docket) either way.

If the Court Rejects the Application for Indigency, then a Litigant must pay for their documents, filings, or said attorney. If the Litigant qualifies and is GRANTED Indigenous Status by the Court (the Judge Presiding) they can get their filings, documents or attorney for Free. One would not have to stretch their imagination too far to assume that Michael Allmain was GRANTED Indigent Status in Defendant Michael Allmain’s Case ( Numer: 200007018) Filed 12/11/2020 or he would never have been appointed a Public Defender, Right?

Well NOPE, Michael Allmain Got himself a GUILTY Verdict in that same court, not by a Jury, but via a Bench Trial, by the same judge that must have Granted that “Determination of Indigency”. Michael was GUILTY because he had not proven, on the record, that he was indigent and therefore qualified for the Law that was in place when his dog went missing that fateful November 2020 Night.
