North Carolina GOP targets death penalty appeals costs
Republican lawmakers push to abolish the North Carolina Resource Center, arguing its five attorneys drive costly capital case appeals. Critics say the center uses public funds to attack defense lawyers and campaign against the death penalty, while supporters cite needed aid for inmates. The bill aims to reduce state expenses and curb lengthy appeals amid $27.1 million budgeted for indigent representation, with about $6.1 million earmarked for capital cases. The center received roughly $766,000 this year, largely from federal sources, as critics warn of political bias in litigation.
