State owes Amy Bishop's attorneys at least $550K
HUNTSVILLE (AP) — Court-appointed lawyers who represented Amy Bishop before she pleaded guilty to shooting six colleagues at the University of Alabama in Huntsville are getting more than $550,000 from the state for their work.
Circuit Judge Alan Mann has approved payments for two of the three attorneys who represented Bishop in the 2010 mass shooting.
Mann on Tuesday ordered a payment of $452,681 for Barry Abston. Mann earlier ruled that Roy Miller would get $100,426.
Mann also says attorney Robert Tuten is due compensation for his work on the complex case, but he hasn't set an amount.
Bishop was declared indigent, meaning she receives a taxpayer-funded defense. Some of the lawyers' payments include expenses, but the breakdown amount isn't clear.
The former biology professor is serving life for killing three colleagues.

What a hock of bs. Take it out of her income and wealthy family.
How was that a complex case.
Pure BS with a kickback to the judge probably.
Liquidate everything that has her name on it, stocks, bonds, house, retirement, etc...and pay the bill with that before taking taxpayer $$$
Don't forget she was still being paid for 1 to 2 years after the murders.
I am with others on this. How was this case complex, where there were numerous eyewitness accounts and victims not to mention the police who caught her red handed. Should not have even been a case in my opinion, she was very clearly guilty.
Not like they had to find evidence and motive to point to her as a suspect.
Most of that probably deals with insanity defense and experts and what not
I say bill Massachusetts, if they had prosecuted her for killing her brother, none of this would have happened, or better yet, sue her husband, who took her to the shooting range!!
