defender

I didn't expect the public defender to be Sebastian Maniscalco.

Mr. Donovan, since you do not have an attorney, the court has appointed you a public defender.

Short of internet-free countries such as Eritrea or total dictatorships such as North Korea, the defenders of democracy cannot all be silenced.

I thought that it could have been trouble for that little cub, but now it looks like he's actually the defender.
