The State Appellate Public Defender anticipates at least three capital litigation cases before
June 30,1999.  In order to defend these cases the agency will need to hire litigation experts that
include: forensic experts, mental health experts, mitigation experts and investigators.  Included
in this $100,000 supplemental appropriation is the funding to pay for these services plus the
expected additional costs of travel and miscellaneous expenses of the experts.  This funding is
ongoing.
