According to multiple reports online, she's gone through at least 7 public defenders who've all withdrawn from the case. She's spent at least four years in pretrial confinement and has not had a trial yet.

Why did they all withdraw? I thought everyone has the right to legal representation

They do. You don't have the right to specific legal representation. Defendents and Public Defenders have the right to request new counsel if they feel they can't work with their given defendant/counsel. The judge has to approve it though.

Yes, but from what I've read she's hostile and impossible to work with. The PD can request to withdraw and they'll find someone else to fill their spot
