Legal Question in Criminal Law in Oklahoma

The law presumes that if a defendant bonds out of jail that he can afford a lawyer. It varies by county, but most counties will give someone that bonded out 2 or 3 chances to show up to court with an attorney. After that, the judge puts the defendant back in custody and gives him a public defender. There are a few counties that will appoint a public defender to someone out on bond if the person can show the judge he is truly indigent. However, that is hard to prove when the defendant was able to come up with the money for bond.
