A letter obtained by People revealed that Duggar claimed to need a court-appointed attorney because he did not have enough money to pay for his own.
"I am unable to afford counsel due to my current financial circumstances,” the disgraced reality star wrote.
Additionally, the filing noted that Duggar is seeking legal help “to help evaluate” if "constitutional violations” occurred in his case, “and, if appropriate, prepare a motion to vacate, set aside, or correct my conviction and sentence.”
