Ethan Ralph had a warrant for his arrest issued on 08-Nov-2021 for violating Faith's restraining order - Arraignment has been set for 24-Jan-2022. May have posted bail remotely?

he’d also have to show he’s poor to get one which I don't think his ego would allow.

Public defenders are a constitutional right in the US (if you're facing at least 30 days in jail and 1k fine, or something like that) per SCOTUS. I do not believe you have to show poverty to qualify for one. In most cases you are fucking retarded if you don't get your own attorney, though generally you should do that immediately, not wait like it seems gunt did. There are cases where its good to ask for a public defender first, then hire an attorney later. For instance, cases that require a forensic psych report. You can have your public defender ask the State to pay for that, and those cost like 5-15k.

It'll be interesting to see what happens. I had someone who said they were calling the Courts to get more info, but I've not yet heard back from them.

As far as getting his attorneys paid for, you're probably right. But, we'll see. We don't know what sort of deals are going on behind closed doors. Also, remember that Gunt doesn't just sell himself on the viewers he pulls per livestream. He sells himself on creating a whole (mostly fake) ecosystem on these platforms. Half of dlive it seemed like was his cronies or other clout-chasers (or "bots") creating spin-off channels. So, you never know...

Yes, you do have to demonstrate you live no more than 20% above the poverty line to qualify for a public defender.

Ever listen to the Miranda rights? “IF you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.” The court determines if you can afford one and you must submit evidence that you’re too poor to afford one.

If Ralph makes more than $16k a year he will not get a free public defender. He tries to hide his income and avoids taxes so who knows what evidence he could or couldn’t provide. He won’t ever be able to buy a house, but maybe it can get him a free shitty public defender.

According to Nick Rekieta the court will do everything in it's power to get you to pay for your own attorney, including emptying your bank account and forcing you to sell any assets you own and he's much smarter than you.

Miranda rights aren't evidence, but I fully admit that there may be some line - though I don't believe its based simply on your relation to the poverty level. And, while the right is set by SCOTUS, the actual performance of that right is settled at the State or Local level (as long as it isn't less than what SCOTUS says you have a right to), so it can differ based on the jurisdiction. Nevertheless, my point is that at your arraignment, you simply ask the Court for a public defender and you get one. After that I believe its up to the Court to petition to have you public defender pulled on the basis of income. I'm not sure how that works or how often that happens. That said, I'll repeat myself and say that apparently he claimed an income of 70k on his bail ppwk, which is greater than the US median income. I would expect that 70k would disqualify someone from having a public defender, and this may be why he has hired an attorney.

 

[Fake News Anchor]

Fucking idiots, the lot of you. PAY for an attorney? Lawyers all across the country are big fans of the show and would be happy to represent the Ralphamale pro bono. The only 'court appointed' gonna be going on is when the court appoints Ralph as a deputy marshal to go after alogs like you. CAN'T ABORT THE RETORT!

 

[Pill Cosby]

Ralph will walk into court, the judge will take one look and before even muttering a sound, Ralph will reply with a “shh”.

As the judge sits with an astounding look on his face Ralph will tell the court about how much he is winning all the haters on Karen Farms and even if he was sentenced he would be winning. The people in the court would erupt with applause- the judge will toss out the case a Pantsu no longer looks like a horse….

Then Ralph wakes up from his drunken stupor clutching an empty bottle of Makers Mark; he wipes the crusty dried saliva from the corners of his lips, sits up and realises it was a dream then screams “FUCK!”

 

[Sam Losco]

Ralph's lawyer is Samantha Upton. Stop arguing about public defenders. Lurk more @Zanmato

It is absolutely based on the federal poverty level and the limit is 20% above poverty level to get a free public defender. Poverty level for a single man is $12k a year. This is why I said Ralph would need to prove he makes less than $16k and we know Ralphamale claimed he makes $70k last time he had to file paperwork about hiring his own attorney.

The public defender’s office is insanely overburdened as it is already, they would have millions of more cases added if any asshole could demand a “free” lawyer any time they got arrested. You only get a free lawyer if you are provably too broke to afford one.

One obvious tell that someone qualifies for a public defender is that they sit in jail for a year because they can’t even come up with $200 for bail and end up serving more time waiting in jail for trial than they would have served for a guilty verdict on their charge.

According to Nick Rekieta . . . and he's much smarter than you.

lmao, buddy you may be right but you don't have to suck Rekieta's dick quite that hard.

Ralph's lawyer is Samantha Upton. Stop arguing about public defenders. Lurk more @Zanmato

Samantha Upton is Ralph's attorney in Virginia. While her profile on her website does not list her bar admissions, it is fairly unlikely that she has admission to the California bar, where the restraining order is being enforced, and I equally doubt she would apply for admission pro hace vice just to represent her flat fee client Ethan Ralph or travel across the country to represent him in a minor domestic issue. Ralph at this point is likely unrepresented and going to retain local counsel, but he could just roll the dice, like he has before, and represent himself pro se.

Imagine thinking that Nick Rekieta is smarter than Bryan Dunn is in any way cocksucking.

He's so short the pants are obviously too long for him

So, 5'1" confirmed?

I like how Ralph's shortness is so overwhelming people assumed the picture was meant to represent Ralph, when the joke/meme is that it's supposed to be his lawyer, and has nothing to do with height at all (the pants are baggy because it's a shitty lawyer wearing a cheap suit).

How do you get this:

Miranda rights aren't evidence

From this:

Ever listen to the Miranda rights? “IF you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.” The court determines if you can afford one and you must submit evidence that you’re too poor to afford one.

Where was it claimed that Miranda rights are evidence?

He'd probably claim exactly that too.

After all, he'd have to try and one-up his greatest arch-nemesis, Null, who said he got a discount (not free) when he hired an attorney to unfuck the Melinda Scott mess.

This is why I said Ralph would need to prove he makes less than $16k and we know Ralphamale claimed he makes $70k last time he had to file paperwork about hiring his own attorney.

I know Ralph at this point is far past fucked but I can't help but think it's not too late. If somehow by a stroke of luck that the devil himself would envy, Ralph somehow manages to walk away with minimal assraping from the courts, the next step would be to reassess himself and change his approach to shit.

Instead of sperging every time someone says something he doesn't like he, idk, brushed it off as unimportant, Ralph would find himself in a lot less situations of arrests, court appearances, car accidents and other general nonsense. Step two of this autistically intricate plan is to get clean. Stop with the drugs, the drinking, the gambling, the cheating. Exercise, eat right, find something productive to reduce the stress and anxiety. Maybe actually act like the conservative he pretends to be.

Step 3 is to get away from all the tards that are just as grimy, grifty and retarded as he is. He already ran off Rand, that was a good start. Now he just needs to uncouple himself from Fuentes and the rest of the Scooby Doo gang.

Of course I know we have a better chance of seeing Ethan shit a live chicken then for him to ever follow this advice, but I figured I'd leave it here anyway, just incase the gunt decides to come scrawling through. It's not too late Ethan, you're close to the edge, not over it yet. There's still time.

Maybe what you need is a Christmas Carolesque adventure with Gator as Jacob Marley, Jim as Christmas Past, Fuentes as Christmas Present and Null as Christmas Yet to Come.

-Pantsu as Bob Cratchet and Gunt's pecker as Tiny Tim.....

We can all bet good money that this is not going to happen. A more realistic arc is Ralph does even harder drugs and gets another egirl, desperate for the slightest bit of fame, pregnant.

All in on Ralph reaching new peak lolcow levels of Ralphamale
