Court Appointed Lawyers Fees and Waivered Rights Rise
The article notes court appointed lawyers are paid by the state via civil judgments against defendants, often less than private fees. A 1963 state appropriation of 500000 per year funds the program for two years with hopes of later reimbursement from higher court costs, which recently rose by 5. Defendants may waive counsel by signing a waiver document. Judge Crissman observes more waivers than expected, and many defendants plead guilty with or without counsel, believing a lawyer offers little help.
