People v. Bohm

In People v. Bohm, 393 Mich 129; 223 NW2d 291 (1974), the defendant applied to the Michigan Supreme Court for the appointment of counsel to prosecute an appeal from this Court to the Supreme Court. The Court found that although the defendant was not impecunious, he was "indigent" insofar as ability to hire a competent lawyer and thus ordered appointment of counsel. Id. at 130. In doing so, the Court further ordered that the "trial court in its discretion may enter an appropriate order for repayment." Id. at 131.
