2.14.060 Prosecuting Attorneys and Defense Attorneys

Any, indigent defendant who pleads "not guilty" to an offense, or combination of offenses, punishable by imprisonment for six (6) months or more and is unable to secure an attorney for his defense, shall be entitled to be represented by an attorney appointed by the Court from the Attorneys' roll. Where a defendant is represented by an attorney, the Court, in its discretion, may appoint a prosecuting attorney from the Attorneys' roll or outside the Attorneys' roll. The prosecuting attorney so appointed shall be compensated for his services at a rate equal to the fee or compensation paid to prosecutors by the county in which the Court sits.
