No, lol, I think some unsympathetic citizens gave them the money to continue on with this brilliant defense! And the aforementioned unsympathetic citizens are the people of Stanislaus County! IOW, I believe those judges granted funds to Scott when Geragos applied for them the other day.
I do not mean to insult the people of Stanislaus County. It's not their fault that public money is now being used in Scott's defense.
I think the Dems gave Scott the money, just to keep the Sandy Berger story out of the news. ;-)
