Criminal Justice Crisis: 'The Bill is Coming Due'
Pay for district attorneys and public defenders is too low to attract and keep enough lawyers. And effects of the COVID-19 pandemic linger: Caseloads are up, but the number of prosecutors is down. The funding crunch affects the state Department of Justice and the entire state court system. This article explains the funding issues.
By Jeff M. Brown
