Ga. Supreme Court rules for Duke defense Tara Grinstead case (Source: WALB) By Dave Miller | March 15, 2021 at 9:26 AM EDT - Updated March 15 at 3:17 PM
ATLANTA (WALB) - The Supreme Court of Georgia has reversed an Irwin County court’s ruling that the
Georgia Indigent Defense Act provides no means for pro bono counsel representing Ryan Alexander Duke to obtain state funds for defense experts and an investigator.
“Contrary to the trial court’s conclusion, the Indigent Defense Act allows an indigent defendant to obtain such ancillary defense services through a contract between pro bono counsel and either the Georgia Public Defender Council or the appropriate circuit public defender,” Chief Justice Harold Melton writes for the majority in Monday’s 8-1 decision.
