Bloomberg.com: "Sept. 19 (Bloomberg) -- R. Allen Stanford, the Texas financier accused of leading a $7 billion fraud, will be defended by some of Houston’s most talented lawyers at taxpayer expense.
U.S. District Judge David Hittner in Houston assigned Stanford’s case to the local Federal Public Defender on Sept. 15, after finding Stanford had no money for lawyers. Two days later, the judge approved the addition of private practitioner Kent Schaffer, whose clients have included a congressman, a rap entrepreneur, professional athletes and a Hollywood star."
