Question Presented (from Petition)
Whether Tennessee's procedure for denying indigent defendants funding for expert assistance at trial violates due process because a trial court's order that experts services are constitutionally necessary can be administratively denied and that denial is subject to review only by the Chief Justice of the Tennessee Supreme Court in a closed proceeding without the defendant's involvement, without any published standards of review, and without providing any explanation for overruling the trial court?
