Yes, but deny if the repeat offences are violent or serious crimes. Misdemeanors like possession should not effect this.

Fair legal aid for all

It depends on the crime comitted

 @BDMHXRM answered…2wks2W

Yes but focus on rehabilitation

 @B89SFPZanswered…7mos7MO

if you repeatedly commit crimes that are blatantly obvious with undeniable evidence, no lawyer should be given. Again, depends on the severity of the crime.

 @B83LCXDanswered…7mos7MO

I believe that it depends on the circumstance of the crime- ie if it is a non-violent crime such as stealing as a means of getting by then yes, repeat offenders should be entitled to free legal aid. However violent or crimes with malicous intent should not.
