How much did the falsely accused have to spend on lawyers? How much did the state have to spend providing the judge and the court?
The accuser or her lawyers should have to pay these expenses.
The insurance carrier for the defendant selected the defendant’s attorney and directed him to file a summary judgment motion. Testimony of the dates, 2 hrs and 4 hrs max, motion papers 10 to 15 hrs max, oral argument 5 hrs max, including travel time. 25hrs. x $150/hr = $3,750.
As far as the Courts - please - they waste time all day long. That’s like asking taxpayers to pay for government waste ... wait a minute!
