He said the law requires the public defender be appointed except in unusual circumstances.
Wow. You learn something new every day . . . I had no idea!
He said the law requires the public defender be appointed except in unusual circumstances.
At 2:15 in that video, they zoom in on JM's face and he looks like so scary and so angry. I could really feel the rage inside him, gave me chills.
Does anyone have easy access to or knowledge of the specifics of the law that the Judge references when he stated the law requires a public defender to be appointed except in unusual circumstances? So, in Virginia, is there always double representation for those who retain lawyers of their own? Either I am completely misunderstanding his statement or that is a huge, money sucking, burdensome law.
It also seems that Camblos' insistence on NOT being lead council is the perfect set-up for future appeals. Again, if above questioned law allows for this, I would think this tactic would be used by most hired co-councels and then cause yet MORE money and time-sucks.

I did not appreciate Camblos referring to Hannah as "the/that Graham girl" at all

"There was clearly some tension between Camblos and the public defenders office after both were appointed, Camblos told the judge Chief Public Defender Todd Petit had offered to allow Camblos to serve as lead counsel in the event both were appointed. Petit told the judge he had indeed made such an offer, but Camblos had rejected it and Petit now wanted his deputy, Dawn Butorac, to serve as lead counsel. The judge said he would leave the two of them to decide who would be lead."
From same source- not sure which statement you were referring to.
Yes! I am not up on the legal reasons why a judge would require a public defender to serve as co-counsel, but I was always of the impression that a defendant could select his/her own counsel and public defenders were for people who don't have or can't afford counsel. Whether or not JLM can afford Camblos seems to be a non-issue as JLM and Camblos seem to have an arrangement where Camblos wants to represent him.
Very very curious to me!!!
Can someone with legal knowledge please enlighten us as to how a judge can overrule JLMs request to be represented exclusively by Camblos???

I haven't heard if Camblos is planning to work Pro Bono - so, if he expects to be paid by the State of Va, the Judge will have something to say about it... duplication of services etc.
Is Camblos' motion re: insanity publically available? Would love to read it.
