Miami-Dade County v. Victor Tony Jones

No.00-1427

Dade County

Jones, an inmate under death sentence, obtained a court order appointing an expert to determine his competency in proceedings challenging his sentence. Later, his counsel asked the judge to order Miami-Dade County to pay for the expert costs. When the court did so, Miami-Dade objected, but the judge did not modify the order. Miami-Dade appeals.
