Gideon's Promise points out a case where a Judge has actually stopped the government from manipulating the process so that a defendant does not have the money to defend himself.
"While the government denies it, the likelihood is that in Scrushy's case as in many others, the use of parallel proceedings has been designed to cripple any possible defense in the criminal case but undercutting Scrushy's ability to fund his defense. This problem though all too common is not often resolved with a judge calling one against the government, but when it occurs it is worthy of mention and praise."
This is a dead on analysis. The government doesn't like it when a defendant has the ability to match it blow for blow. Too much chance of turning out like O.J. or the first couple Gotti cases.
