I don't see it as a conflict of interest. The state is prosecuting you with a lot more resources than you have. Why shouldn't you have the same amount of legal expertise without additional cost to you? Also I would think that if both sides are getting paid the same, you'd have less of lawyers exploiting loopholes to get their clients off.
I dunno just seems like there could be a better system.
