A. In every case in which the defendant is subject to the death

penalty and an attorney other than a county indigent defender is

Oklahoma Statutes, total compensation for attorneys who serve as

lead counsel and co-counsel shall not exceed the limits set in

Section 1355.13 of Title 22 of the Oklahoma Statutes.

to litigate and that the request for extraordinary attorney fees is

reasonable.
