Read full article: Georgia Supreme Court gives defendant in teacher slaying route to state funds

The Georgia Supreme Court ruled 8-1 that private attorneys for Ryan Duke may seek to contract with a state agency to receive funding for expert witnesses. However, the court did not rule on whether Duke has a constitutional right to receive taxpayer assistance. Duke’s attorneys say he has no money to pay for expert witnesses in DNA, false confessions and psychology. The state Supreme Court’s decision Monday found that state law allows private attorneys to contract with the Georgia Public Defender Council to receive taxpayer-funded assistance. It sent the case back for Duke’s attorneys to seek a contract but stopped short of ordering the council to enter one.
