The local Public Defenders office here in Florida has application for criminal indigent status to see if defendants qualify for a Public Defender and the applications are in both english and spanish...but they insist that the spanish form is to be used for translation purposes only and that the english version MUST be filled out because there's a Florida Statute stating that when the application for indigent status is recorded (for public record) it MUST be in english. Do you know if this is true and what the Florida Statute number is?
