David Merchant, chief appellate public defender, will step down as chief on Nov. 1 but will remain in the office practicing law, said State Public Defender John Stuart today.
Cathryn Middlebrook will serve as acting chief.
Stuart said that Merchant’s main interest is in working on cases with clients. His appointment was controversial because the defenders felt he lacked experience. See, “Wolf out at public defenders” and “After support and criticism, Merchant re-appointed as chief of appellate PDs.”
Information about applying for the position is available at the public defense board’s website.
