More details to this question:
does he need a public defender from the county we live in or the county where he got the ticket. This is his first speeding ticket and the police officer used vulgar language with him and accused him of being intoxicated. He was crying because of break up with his girlfriend of 4 years - police officer said he was giving him a ticket for 90 mph and 5 points - he was driving with the traffic. Today he got a notice from Penn Dot and a copy was sent to his work - he delivers pizzas - how can a notice be sent to his work before he had a hearing and is pleading not guilty. He works and goes to college and plays baseball for his college. He needs to keep his job. We are hard working people. How can he defend himself with a public defender?

They will not assign a public defender. He needs to defend himself or hire a private attorney. Especially under these circumstances, I would suggest the latter. For more information on Pennsylvania speeding cases follow this link: http://fairlielaw.net/practice-areas/traffic-related-offenses/
