That makes sense. It's interesting that he hadn't already retained a criminal defense lawyer though. That seems really dumb given that he's clearly been the main suspect in a murder investigation for the past year.I am guessing Barry was assigned lawyers for the first hearing because he has not retained qualified criminal defense attorneys yet. He would have to submit an "assets and liabilities" affidavit for the court listing his assets in order to qualify for a public defender or assigned counsel. It doesn't seem like he would qualify as indigent so I would bet this is a timing thing since he has a hearing today and he is entitled to counsel at any proceeding.
