Don't miss this! New Berrien County Chief Public Defender Carl Macpherson says he's working harder than he ever has in his life. Macpherson will discuss Berrien County's criminal justice system and how his legal defense team is growing and organizing for the indigent population. All this during a luncheon set for March 16 at noon at Coaches Restaurant in Stevensville.
According to the Herald-Palladium, Macpherson was hired last fall as the county's first public defender. In late November and early December, he interviewed and added staff so that by Dec. 12 eight lawyers, two legal secretaries, an office manager and an investigator were in place. Come and hear more about this highly important job function in Berrien County and how it fits with our justice system.
Macpherson will speak to our League at 12pm on Thursday, March 16, at Coaches Restaurant, 2528 Glenlord Rd, Stevensville, MI 49127. To make a reservation, please call Membership Chair Donna Dutton at 269-469-9763 as soon as possoble. Thank you.
