Attorneys Colin Campbell and Michael Piccarreta had argued that the men are indigent and entitled to court-appointed counsel. The Mohave Daily News reports that the attorneys’ fees had exceeded $100,000 and hadn’t been paid in full.
Judge Steven Conn granted the request Tuesday for the attorneys to withdraw from the case.
