Here's another story about the crim side

Here's the press release.

Here's the news story.

The Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers wants AG Bill McCollum to sue the state over a new law that revamped the system of providing public defenders to the accused.

"We cannot jeopardize the integrity of Florida's constitution," said FACDL President A. Russell Smith. "While we appreciate the need of the government to address budget concerns, the legal system cannot afford to sacrifice its ability to provide due process to citizens accused of a crime."

No mention of dependency in the press release or news story.
