how much does a criminal defense lawyer make in a year?

That is like asking how much a cook makes in a year. A cook at McDonald's makes minimum wage. A cook at Spago in New York City makes six figures a year. Just like a public defender makes between $30,000 and $50,000 a year depending on location, while a criminal trial lawyer like Johnny Cochran or F. Lee Bailey makes millions of dollars a year. So, there is no answer to that question.

That can vary widely depending on how and where the attorney practices law and how successful he or she is in their profession. A public defender isn't going to make even close to what a successful criminal defense attorney in private practice makes and an attorney in LA or New York City is going to make more than an attorney in (for instance) Springfield, Missouri.
