No, they would not be paid more. Most of them are appointed by the state or are doing the work pro bono, which means for free. And unless the attorney is being paid by a private party, they get rates as specified by the normal case processes.

The stakes are so high in both cases that the punishment likely isn't a determinate on whether the criminal will proceed.
