Description
The appellant, Donald Lang, an illiterate deaf-mute, herein referred to as defendant, was indicted on December 9, 1965, in
the circuit court of Cook County on a charge of murder of a woman in Chicago on November 12, 1965. On December 15, 1965, the
Public Defender was appointed to represent the defendant and an order was entered directing that he be examined by the Behavior
Clinic of Cook County. He does not know any recognized sign language. On January 5, 1966, Attorney Lowell J. Myers moved that he be appointed by the court to represent the defendant. Myers has
had 30 years of experience in dealing with deaf-mute people and 10 years of experience in representing deaf-mute people in
legal matters. (See, Myers v. County of Cook, 34 Ill.2d 541.) The trial judge appointed Myers to represent the defendant and
granted leave to the Public Defender to withdraw as his attorney.
