what is the best way to get a public defender to talk to

See a lawyer. They may be able to contact the PD and will know far better than you how to ask and what to ask. A non-lawyer is always a potential threat and the PD doesn't know you.

See, and if required retain, a real lawyer.

i don't personally have any legal problem, or involvement in the case. I am highly suspicious of the public defender's past client, I actually think he might of killed someone.I can't tell the police though, because they already consider it a cold case. They won't investigate it, and they are cockblocking other people from investigating it. I have obtained a fair amount of new information about the client, legally and on my own. There is still one chunk of information i need though, and it's important.

legalanons: how could I get you to trust me enough to talk about a past case?

shut it down, OP is insane

>how could I get you to trust me enough to talk about a past case?

You don't. Attorney-client privilege is ironclad. Any talk about the case or the client and the lawyer would have their license stripped. It has nothing to do with trust. They legally can't tell you anything.

Are you serious? No defense attorney is going to talk to you about a client.

Maybe if OP had a lot of money. But what is a lot? $100,000, $250,000, $1,000,000, probably a lot more actually?

Realistically though the answer is you aren't getting shit. It takes a lot of money for someone to break their moral beliefs and do something that could potentially ruin their careers. So actually the amount of money would be how much ever it costs for that attorney to retire for the rest of his life if he knew it didn't have any legal ramifications also.

tl;dr op you aren't getting shit you fucking hardy boy jr.
