As an aside many of the death row or hard timers know the law better than most lawyers. But and in any event, they have access to legal aid and many high up lawyers will take a case pro bono. Having said that, there is WAY more to be done regarding indigent defense. http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/id.htm
