Tyler Boebert, the 19-year-old son of Colorado’s own conjugal carpetbagging Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, appeared before a judge in Garfield County courtroom on Thursday saying he is having difficulty retaining counsel because he can’t afford their rates, Westword News reports. He had no family with him.
Boebert the Younger faces fourteen counts, including felony identity theft that carries a two- to six-year prison sentence, for a series of car break-ins and robberies in Rifle he and a number of underage accomplices allegedly committed, including that of a woman with a brain tumor from whom they stole the last $75 “left to her name,” police said.
“We are working to hire an attorney, but it’s just been kind of hard with the prices,” Boebert told the judge. “Worst case scenario, if we can’t get something figured out with the lawyer then we’re going to apply for a public defender or whatever works best for me.”
