Before the appointment of a panel attorney to represent an accused, a determination of indigency was made by the Office. After appointment, if a panel attorney discovers that an accused has secreted assets or falsified information regarding his true financial status, the panel attorney should promptly advise the district public defender. The district public defender will make further investigation of the financial status of the accused and, thereafter, advise the panel attorney regarding his continued appearance in the case and as to any other appropriate action.
