Jeffery R. asked

⚖️  Law

In a criminal case, the defendant's court-appointed counsel filed to withdraw and the court granted the withdrawal, setting a hearing date with the defendant being unrepresented. Can the defendant file to have standby counsel present for advisement if needed, especially considering the counsel that withdrew was appointed by the court for post-conviction proceedings?

My daughter and I were at the Salem NH Kmart picking up our layaway. We always went to the customer service desk to check for sale items and receive the sale price refund. This time, they told us we had to wait 24 hours or return and repurchase everything. When we asked to speak to a manager, Amy was rude and insisted on the same protocol, even though corporate said she could have checked our previous layaways. She accused us of knowing someone who gave us the sale price refund and was very arrogant. My daughter and I felt embarrassed and humiliated, and we were eventually escorted out by security. We are of Hispanic origin and felt discriminated against. We want to pursue a claim against Kmart so others don't go through the embarrassment we did. What should we do?
