The US government is increasingly cutting money for legal defense for the poor - making the right to counsel, a constitutional guarantee, an even more challenging promise to keep.
High-profile cases have been affected by widespread budget cuts. In New York, the trial of Osama bin Laden's son-in-law was delayed because public defenders representing him had to take unpaid time off. The lawyers for the surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect have faced unpaid time off as well. Public defenders in more than 20 states are planning to close offices.
