Re: Public Defender stipulation in Fed DP cases- most states that allow/require these state, to the effect, at least one/lead appointed has to have previous DP exp., and may also allow non-exp. counsel as co-counsel.
IF def. ends up filing (i.e.-pro se) Appeal partly on claim of insufficient counsel, -including failure to argue federal status of charges -which may be important because counsel finally entered a guilty plea and THEN claimed bipolar/knows but can't control (which would then also necessarily apply to a really loopy 'confession' the case revolved around), and gets vVerdict overturned, WHAT becomes of gained exp. of (i.e.) co-counsel(s)?
Assuming said same attorneys can't claim insufficient counsel on client's behalf -if taking appeal also, if they screw up on appeal, can def. then file own appeal claiming insufficient atty. ?
