I don't recall them changing the wording to say "If you cannot afford a lawyer GUARANTEED to get you #^&#^&#^&#^&, or "If you cannot afford a lawyer that just barely passed his bar exam....after 5 attempts"!
OH, and where does it say that the state has to pay for the highest paid lawyer in the country? I thought that if you could not afford a lawyer, you were ASSIGNED one by the state, you didn't shop around for one!
Sounds like someone has ILLEGALLY RE-WRITTEN the law, or as we like to say in this state "We just made our own interpretation of the law"!
The legal system in the state, as well as the country, is so screwed.
When judges are VOTED in, and not assigned/promoted based on favortism by lame-ass politicians, then and ONLY then will I beleive in that system. When you live in a society that provides the accused MORE rights, freedoms and previledges than the victims, then there is definitely something wrong with that system!

If the State took away every red cent the guy has then, technically, he can't afford a lawyer, correct.
and as I stated before....the attorney is only drawing $9600 max for fees, which is a pittance in lawyer fees....the rest is Pro-Bono for the most part. he's taking the case because its High Profile....
I'm not sticking up for Whitey....I hope he gets everything he deserves....but I'm not seeing anything really wrong with this
