can a PD use paid help from outside sources?

Yes, but I'm not sure what the $$ limits are.

When a PD is too busy, or conflicted, the court will hire an outside lawyer to do PD work.

But the Miranda statement:

If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed to you free of charge;

If a defendant can hire a crime scene investigator, that seems to negate the ‘cannot afford....’ part.
