ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – The attorney representing accused murderer Markeith Loyd has been suspended from receiving taxpayer money to represent indigent clients after a state agency accused the lawyer of submitting “excessive and concerning” legal bills, News 6 has learned.
Terence Lenamon is allowed to continue representing his current clients at the state’s expense, including Loyd, but Lenamon can no longer accept appointments on new cases after the Justice Administrative Commission, or JAC, suspended his contract with the state May 14, court records show.
JAC is responsible for processing financial invoices submitted to the state by private court-appointed attorneys who represent indigent criminal defendants.
