How does a welfare mama afford HIM ???
It's possible that Jerome Phillips is representing Maytee pro-bono.

^ Jerome Phillips. I remembered his name from a few years back as he'd come up in media reports weighing on the case against Samuel Williams.
Phillips said this just after Williams' sentencing:
Defense Attorney Jerome Phillips said he is not surprised the jury could not come to an agreement because this is one of the first cases he has seen where the prosecution has asked for the death penalty without having overwhelming evidence that the defendant is guilty.

Interesting to me that he now represents the mother of the man Williams was convicted of killing.
