Bill to establish statewide oversight, funding for public defense passes House State Affairs Committee
Greg Sattizahn, state court administrator for the Unified Judicial System, presented the bill to the committee. He explained citizens who are unable to pay for their own counsel have the constitutional right for it to be provided to them for criminal proceedings, termination of parental rights cases, juvenile proceedings and Habeas Corpus proceedings — challenges to the authority for a detention. “The courts have recognized the right to counsel is a pervasive right, because it impacts all other rights and our ability to assert those rights,” Sattizahn said. “South Dakota has had a very long tradition of recognizing the importance of counsel.”
