Appeals court won't hear challenge in public defender appointment case [Breaking]
The Fourth District Court of Appeal in San Diego decided not to hear a challenge to how private lawyers are appointed to represent poor defendants. The writ was brought by lawyers for Jane Dorotik, who earned a new trial for the former Valley Center woman after years of re-investigating her case.
Dorotik was convicted of killing her husband Robert in 2001. Starting in 2016 the Loyola Law School Project for the Innocent took up her case, and over the next several years dismantled large chunks of the forensic evidence that was the basis of the conviction. He did so for free. When Dorotik was ordered to stand trial after an extended nearly year-long hearing, Cavalluzzi asked to be appointed her lawyer and paid at the rate established by the county. But a judge refused, citing a state law which said appointments of private lawyers for indigent defendants can be made only when the local Public Defender can’t do it.
