his defense team had already hired veteran Washington state crime scene reconstruction expert Matthew Noedel.

Public defenders paid for by tax dollars or did he actually hire his own defense lawyers?

Yeah, will or can a PD use paid help from outside sources?

A PD is usually appointed because the defendant ‘can’t afford a lawyer”.

I read elsewhere that he has been assigned a public defender.

Weird, isn’t it? Would a PD have the resources to hire such an expert contractor? I wouldn’t think so.
