A federal appeals court has upheld an injunction requiring Oregon to release pretrial defendants from custody if they are not provided with a lawyer within seven days. The decision, affirmed by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (CA9), was supported by judges appointed by former Presidents Obama and Biden, while a judge appointed by former President Trump dissented, describing the injunction as a 'judicial jailbreak.' This ruling addresses the state's overburdened public defense system, which has struggled to appoint defense attorneys in a timely manner. The ruling was also noted for its implications on the #SixthAmendment.
