I Wonder Why ?

Today , I was in Columbia , Tn. on a sex offender probation violation case. I was stunned what the judge was doing on some cases. If a person was applying for an appointed attorney , she would require them to pay $7500.00 in attorney's fees at the rate of $50.00 per week. It is ironic that an appointed attorney is capped in the attorney fees of what they can charge the State of Tennessee. The amount ordered buy the judge exceeds the cap. Go figure.
