Public defenders are way overworked and underpaid. They will make you plead guilty under some sort of sucky plea deal where you might end up with a shorter sentence compared to if it went all the way. If you go with a lawyer, you stand a better chance. When it comes to money and liberty, I'd choose liberty and spend the $ 14K. No brainer.
