A local TV station ran a story about the Yakima public defender's office huge caseload. Public Defenders Office Deals With Backlog | KIMA CBS 29 - News, Weather and Sports - Yakima, WA - Yakima, Washington 29 | Local & Regional, Aug. 6, 2008. Dan Fessler, the head of the Yakima County Department of Assigned Counsel, likened the situation of more defendants and not enough resources to the famous episode of "I Love Lucy" when she tries to keep up with a conveyer belt in a candy factory. If you click on the link for the story, you'll even see a clip of Lucy.
