States deal with dearth of attorneys willing to take capital cases
Interesting article from the National Law Journal:
"Low pay, high complexity and the inevitable length of capital punishment cases have led an increasing number of defense attorneys to refuse the work, while others are challenging their wages in court or taking only federal cases. The resistance to accepting capital cases has left some states scrambling to find qualified attorneys." (sub req) [RJ]
