Well, a defendant
in the county criminal courts are
are paying the court costs,
and I feel like that
that the district courts
should do the same.
Also, this gives us increased
revenue somewhere between
fifteen hundred thousand dollars per
year.
These less payment
court costs can be paid on
installments.
This is up to the discretion of the
judge.
But I do recommend that I
feel like that anyone that or the
defendant, he wants out of the
probated sentence one
or two years, I believe that
they'd be willing to pay even twenty
five to fifty dollars podcast in
order to Wall Street.
I feel that they probably should
have to, as you know, they do in
misdemeanor cases.
Ever since we've had misdemeanor
probation and
clients that I've represented in the
past have often asked me if there
were court costs
to be paid. And so in fact, some of
them expect to pay it.
And I don't think there's any
objection.
The fact I think it'd be a good
thing I'd be in favor of this.
I think it's a method by which the
county can
help pay for the rising costs
of operating the courts, and I would
be in favor of it.
