Georgia has enacted legislation to undertake the defense of indigent persons charged with capital felonies for which the death penalty is being sought in any court in the state. The Office of the Multi-County Public Defender will become the Georgia Capital Defender Office in January 2005. The office is now seeking to fill key staff positions. “See Job Description” (Jan. 15, 2004); see also DPIC’s report “With Justice for Few: The Growing Crisis in Death Penalty Representation.”
