California Court of Appeal

In a prosecution of a former senior deputy district attorney for multiple sex related crimes, trial court's order denying defendant's request that a particular attorney be appointed at county expense as his assigned counsel is affirmed as the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it held that defendant failed to establish good cause to depart from the statutory scheme for appointment of assigned counsel specified in section 987.2.
