I seriously doubt that unless it was like 40 years ago. There are restrictions on what types of crimes are entitled to a public defender, you have to earn under the federal poverty line in order to qualify for one, and there still aren’t enough defenders for everyone who is eligible.

You’ve definitely never interacted with the legal system if you think it’s easy to get a public defender

The vast majority were not convicted by a jury either because they were railroaded into a deal, they had a bad lawyer, or they just didn’t know their rights. There is no due process for the poor

A storm can change the pressure and temperature of the water above it. The salinity can change from a number of factors from organisms to changes in environment changing the solubility causing some to precipitate out.
We still know very little about the deepest parts of our ocean and until we can more easily explore them I don’t see how you could say with any certainty there’s no ice down there.

The pressures in the deepest parts of the ocean are absolutely high enough to create different states of ice that would be denser than water. If there’s ice there it wouldn’t float.
It’s absolutely possible that the salinity changes at that depth or the pressure of the water above changes, the water doesn’t have to get colder to freeze.

There are some faulty assumptions in there though, the biggest of which is assuming that solid water has to be less dense than water which it doesn’t. The ice that would form at 0C and 1GPa would almost certainly be denser than liquid water

Wouldn’t the water eventually getting cold enough or under the right pressure conditions to freeze make it less dense so it would float up?

Everyone doesn’t have the same rights, that’s the whole point. We essentially have 2 separate justice systems, you have 100% never interacted with it in any way especially not as someone who needed a public defender
