Trump co-defendant remains in jail after telling judge he cannot afford private lawyer
https://www.reuters.com/legal/trump-co-defendant-smith-appear-atlanta-court-election-charges-2023-08-25/One of Donald Trump's co-defendants in a wide-ranging election-fraud case in Georgia remained behind bars on Friday, after he told a judge that he could not afford a private attorney to represent him and was denied bond.
Harrison Floyd said at his first court appearance that he could not afford a private lawyer and had been denied representation by a public defender because he did not qualify.
Floyd, who appeared virtually, said that it typically cost between $40,000 to $100,000 just to retain a private lawyer to fly to Georgia.
