A guy here is being held for trial on Murder One--killed two people and burned down their home to try to cover it up. He claimed he was "indigent" at his arraignment, so the judge assigned him a public defender. Now the judge found out that after the arraignment, the perp's father died, leaving him $400k. So, the judge ordered him to hire his own lawyers and dunned him $27k for the public defender's services to date. To add insult to injury: since it's a capital punishment case, he has to pay for two lawyers. tongue I don't think 20 lawyers would get him off.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
