I recall the argument by CBR's defense when they applied for funds for costs advanced was that not providing CBR an investigator, experts, etc. would deprive him of a fair trial and defense. These are services typically provided to all defendants represented by public defenders, and I don't see how the Government could have refused this request.Question for those that might know more about this..
I am reviewing article from the early days and see several mentions for the defense to request funds to pay for things like a private investigator and expert witnesses. If CBR's family is paying for the lawyers, wouldn't they also be paying for those things as well?
I am looking for an article I read that said the lawyers were known to the family through church. I swear I read that.. makes me wonder if they are donating their services for the publicity? If they are requesting public funds to pay $5000 and $3000 something for these exerts and a PI, then how much are they even getting paid?
I've never read that Chad & Jennifer Frese were known to the family through church. We know that CBR had another private attorney before them so I was not surprised when another private team came forward. MOO
