Patrick Xavier Clark: Takeoff's alleged shooter asks judge to give him $5K to hire PI
HOUSTON, TEXAS: Patrick Xavier Clark, the man who is alleged to have killed rapper Takeoff, has asked a judge for money as he cannot afford to hire a private investigator but needs one to build his case. Clark is reportedly asking for an initial sum of $5,000 to hire a private investigator, according to legal docs, as he claims he is unable to bear the cost on his own.
Clark's family has already spent a hefty amount on his attorney to take his case at a reduced rate. He says it's essential to include a private investigator in his defense in order to "properly investigate [Clark's] case and to prepare effectively for trial." The alleged criminal says that he has already found a PI who will work for him at a reduced rate of $85/hour.
