AFFIDAVIT OF INDIGENCY
STATE OF MISSISSIPPI
COUNTY OF RANKIN
I, ________________________________________, being first duly sworn, depose and say:
I am a Defendant in the above styled and named cause. If I am now or hereafter released
from custody upon the posting of any bond, I do hereby assign unto Rankin County, Mississippi, all
my right or title to any bond monies so posted to the extent necessary to reimburse said county for all
court costs, court appointed attorneys fees or other funds expended for my defense. I neither own
nor have any rights to any assets, funds, cash, money, bank accounts, stocks, bonds, jewelry,
televisions, automobiles, land, houses, "heir property" or other real or personal property of any kind or
character, other than the following:
________________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________________
My employer's name and address is _____________________________________________.
My income is $__________ per _______________.
In my present financial condition, above described, I am unable to obtain and pay counsel to
defend me or pay any incidental expenses which may be incurred in the conduct of my defense. If I
have listed assets above which could be sold or disposed of and the proceeds applied to reimburse
the county for the costs of my court appointed counsel, I agree to do so. I understand any false
statement on this affidavit or any failure to cooperate with the county in disposing of my listed assets
to reimburse the county for the costs of my court appointed attorney, as appropriate will constitute
fraud upon this court and a violation in the terms of my suspended sentence I may receive in this
cause, allowing me to be resentenced or any suspended sentence revoked.
I am desirous of having this court appoint counsel to defend me on the following charges:
_______________________________________________________________________________.
I, therefore, respectfully ask this court to appoint able and conscientious counsel to represent
and defend me herein.
I have made no previous application for this relief.
