 Public Defender's Office helps
skateboarder stick landing in life
When Isaiah Cotroneo found himself in trouble with the law again and facing a drug-possession charge, he expected he would get six to 10 years in prison. Fortunately for him, someone from the Pima County Public Defender’s Office was assigned to handle his case. With the public defender's help, he was able to avoid prison time, underwent drug treatment, had his rights fully restored and eventually started a business as a skateboarding instructor. "I owe it all to my public defender," he says.
