Coming from parents with no fewer than seven arrests between them, Tyler Boebert is just another travel trailer in the family mobile home park. After being arrested two months ago in connection with a series of robberies and burglaries, Tyler told a judge last month he wasn’t able to find an affordable lawyer, and one month later, Tyler told the same judge at a hearing Thursday that he still hasn’t found a lawyer, reports Westword, Denver’s independent news outlet.
Although 9th Judicial District Judge John F. Neiley told Boebert to apply for a public defender immediately after his April 11th court date to start the qualification review, Boebert said he had only filed the paperwork earlier this week. “I have now sent…um, I can’t remember what…like, the document to sign up for a public defender. I’ve sent it in. I haven’t gotten a message back, but it was very recently. It was only a couple days ago,” he told the judge.
