Another interesting point is that attorneys assigned by the state are most often inexperienced or incompetent. They can receive as little as $6 an hour, so only those desperate for work and those only fighting for justice take up that kind of work.
A few months ago a man got executed in Texas whose trial took exactly 3 days and who had an attorney specialized in real estate as defense. The only "evidence" they had for him committing the crime he was accused of was that he was in the vicinity of the scene of the crime (2 miles away in a town with 100k+ inhabitants) and that he looked like the perpetrator - both were bald black men. His attorney however had just finished law school a few months ago, and didn't have a clue. So, he fried.
