Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland

Drug charges

My daughter's boyfriend has been charged with selling drugs in a school zone. This supposedly happened in 10/07 and they didn't arrest him until 9/08. He has a public defender who is trying to get him to take a plea bargain but he does not want to do that since he is innocent. Also, on the police report it doesn't mention anything about him being in a vehicle so they are trying to pull records from an arrest done earlier on that day when he was in a vehicle. The arrest occured in the same week that his brother was found guilty of murder. What can someone do if they are not happy with the public defender?
