Because the governor of Missouri has systematically defunded public defense to the point that it can no longer function, and director has the power to delegate defense of indigent defendants to any member of the bar, said director is using that authority to force the governor of Missouri (himself an attorney) to defend an indigent defendant. :mrgreen:
