To do that, it would help to get a better sense of how experts are funded in other counties. Please help by answering the below: 1. How are experts funded for your office? 2. How are experts paid for for indigent defendants who are not represented by your office? 3. What are the streams of funding reimbursement your county uses for MH, Capital Case, and other experts?
