Highlights By Josh Friedman Times Staff Writer In the court of public opinion, few get a worse rap than public defenders. Stereotyped as mediocre lawyers who sleep through trials, they are more often maligned than appreciated for protecting the rights of the indigent. Filmmakers Pamela Yates and Peter Kinoy try to set the record straight in a persuasive two-hour documentary airing tonight at 9on KCET.

The show follows four cases handled by the San Francisco Public Office, helping us understand why these pros fight the good fight, even if usually on behalf of people who have done bad things. As one defender says, a vigorous defense is like amuscle that must be exercised, lest it atrophy when needed most for the innocent client. Two cases are misdemeanors assigned to feisty rookies; intertwined with those stories are murder cases handled by longtime defenders. Jeff Adachi, who was motivated to study law after his parents and grandparents were interned for being Japanese Americans, defends a Cambodian immigrant ac- cused of slaying a gang boss. Will Maas, a Vietnam vet fighting his own demons as well as the prosecution, comes off as twisted but cunning in his defense of the alleged triggerman in a murder for hire.

Maas, who tapes a bizarre video diary in the wee hours and wears big glasses in court to into the of witnesses, recalls a 1966 firefight to psych himself up for legal battle. A lone enemy soldier killed 12 men in squad that day. The lesson? never Maas says. might win a battle here and there, and you might win the TUNED IN Robert Gumpert AT WORK: Jeff Adachi, right, with a client in on KCET tonight at 9.
