Public defenders keep quitting on North Dakota white supremacist Craig Cobb

By the time his case goes to trial, white supremacist Craig Cobb may have worked with every full-time public defender in the state of North Dakota.

A fourth attorney has been appointed to represent Cobb, who’s accused of terrorizing a small town he hopes to turn into a whites-only enclave.

Bismarck attorney Ryan Heintz will represent Cobb after three previously appointed public defenders asked to be removed from his case, said Robin Huseby, executive director of the state Commission on Legal Counsel for Indigents.

She said that’s certainly unusual, but she was confident that one of the state’s 16 full-time public defenders or 80 or so attorneys who work on a contract basis would be able to represent Cobb.
