I sort of doubt that they would have lynched my “Desi self” out on the street.
And frankly, go look at something simple like Wikipedia, certainly that is simple enough for you to understand.
In the United States, a public defender is an attorney whose duty is to provide legal representation to indigent defendants who have been charged criminally and who are unable to pay for an attorney. The state and federal government, respectively, pay for the public defender agencies that they employ to provide indigent defense. Appointed attorneys are required for anyone accused in a criminal case who is exposed to any likelihood of imprisonment. The Supreme Court’s most important decision in this area of law held that the Sixth Amendment required that governments afford indigent defendants with competent counsel. Different jurisdictions use different approaches to providing such counsel. By far, the most common is a public defender office, though a substantial minority comply with Gideon (see below) by using a panel of private attorneys who are compensated for their appointed work.
