I would think only the high profile attorneys get paid rates like that to defend the rich, maybe even law firms with municipal contracts.

Swell; More of my tax dollars wasted on a nutcase.
Billy has it right: Lock him up and throw away the key.

Right there in the Colorado SuperMax too.

Well said, supermax this loon.

Just out of curiosity, why put him in Supermax?

It's a very expensive choice. Generally reserved for prisoners who present a great deal of danger to guards or other prisoners, or who are a serious escape risk.

I don't see this guy as any of that.

Put him in regular max, or even medium. In general population.
That would be more of a "punishment" than Supermax.

It's a lot less than $400/hr. that was claimed, though.

Malvo and Muhammad were tried between 2003 and 2006. As an aside, the overall costs of their defenses, given the particular complexity of their cases (and many expenses were non-attorney, such as investigators and forensic experts, were unusually expensive - so much so that cherry-picking their cases as "representative examples" amounts basically to either laziness or intellectual dishonesty.

Anyhow, here's an ABA state-by-state survey of typical attorney fees in capital cases published in 2003, the relevant time period.

http://www.americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/migrated/legalservices/downloads/sclaid/indigentdefense/compensationratescapital2003.authcheckdam.pdf

As you can see, virtually all of the rates were below (some WELL below) $99 per hour.

10 years later, the overall national rates are a little bit higher, but not by very much in very many states.

Not apropos of anyone in particular, be wary of random twits with nothing better to do than troll by making shit up.

Lawyers don't work for the state for free. Count up 10yrs of legal fees at $400 per hour. Also, please consider the book the attorney said he was going to write as additional money earned. Not sure if the book was published. Facts are: it should not cost more to put someone to death than to feed and cloth, provide healthcare, health club equipment to a convicted murderer for the rest of his life.

OK, so now someone else can "read it on Google."

Of course we all know lawyers pad the bill. Like gov't is keeping track of hours. Hell they can't even keep track of the money they have. Gov't is owned by the lawyers.

Jeez, I didn't get my share of the government. Can you tell me what I'd need to do to get that? On second thought, don't bother. You are either the biggest troll on this site or a complete nitwit.

I've been asking the same question for years. How do I get in. The fact is you need to be a part of the inside special club that runs the show, all shows, including TV shows that controls the the communications. So you've not wondered why Justice decided not to prosecute Goldman Sacks. You've not wondered why no one goes to jail except pay a small fine as a cost of doing business. Corp lawyers and gov't lawyers work out all the details and everyone walks away happy. Goldman Sach's execu. bonus up 50% over last year as they won not getting prosecuted and there's no money going to paying fines that the execs get the money.

Surprising people who worked for the gov't don't have a clue what is going on.

Doh!! You made that shit up, too! In every state and federal court I'm aware of, capital fee petitions are submitted to the court and scrutinized with a very, VERY fine-toothed comb. You bet your sweet ass they keep damned close track of the hours. Yes, yes, I know, the judges are in cahoots; they're part of the conspiracy. Anyhow, you made it up, and you need a new foil hat.

They play golf together. Someone must be paying to you to do what you do. Why why would anyone spend so much time attempting to thwart the truth. So you're working for AIPAC?
