Commission Urges States to Fund Poor Defendants
Washington AP The President's Advisory Commission on Inter-governmental Relations urges states to set and pay minimum standards for defending the poor in criminal cases, arguing local governments lack capacity. It favors direct state administration with urban public defenders and rural circuit riders, plus full-time prosecutors and state funding for investigations. The 208-page report also calls for court and judiciary reforms to centralize prosecutions, streamline courts, and raise judge licensing and retirement rules.
