Songer v. Citrus County
Songer v. Citrus County
462 So. 2d 54; 10 Fla. L. Weekly 72; 1984 Fla. App. LEXIS 16247
(Southern Reporter, Second Series)
Songer v. Citrus County
Opinion of the Court
Contrary to appellant’s assertion, there is nothing in sections 27.53, 925.035 or 925.-036, Florida Statutes (1983) which authorizes the imposition of attorney’s fees on a county for the representation of a criminal defendant in post-conviction collateral proceedings. Therefore the trial court was correct when it declined to assess attorney’s fees and expenses against Citrus County for the work done by appellant’s attorney in filing a motion to vacate the imposition of the death penalty and in appealing the denial of that motion. The order denying assessment of fees against Citrus County is therefore
AFFIRMED.
