Ohio Public Defender says indigent defense underfunded in counties
Ohio Public Defender Timothy Young warns that qualified lawyers take less court appointed work for poor defendants as counties rely on private counsel. Reimbursements for Licking County indigent defense remain stuck low, with $35 hourly out of court and $45 in court, capped at $1,000 per felony. County officials say state funding has shifted since the recession, with a 48 percent state share now, up from 40. Young advocates for full state responsibility.
