A person is NOT entitled to have an attorney provided by the government for free in the following situations:

  1. A major crime where there is no possibility of jail or prison - If there is no potential imprisonment, the right to a free attorney may not be guaranteed.

  2. A minor crime where there is no possibility of jail or prison - Similar to the first situation, if there's no chance of incarceration, there is typically no entitlement to a publicly provided attorney.

Therefore, the two correct responses are:

  • A major crime where there is no possibility of jail or prison
  • A minor crime where there is no possibility of jail or prison
