(A) In a case described in division (B) of this section, if the court determines that
investigation services, experts, or other services are reasonably necessary for the
proper representation of a defendant charged with aggravated murder at trial or at
the sentencing hearing, the court shall authorize the defendant's counsel to obtain
the necessary services for the defendant, and shall order that payment of the fees

the necessary services be made as provided in this section.
