Annotations

JUDICIAL DECISIONS Transcript costs for indigents. - It was error to hold that under O.C.G.A. § 17-12-34 of the Georgia Indigent Defense Act of 2003, the Georgia Public Defender Standards Council was required to pay for indigent defendants’ costs of transcripts in criminal cases; under laws ex-

isting before the Act, counties were required to pay for such transcripts and the Act does not repeal these laws by implication. Ga. Public Defender Stds. Council v. State of Ga., 284 Ga. App. 660, 644 S.E.2d 510 (2007).
