If she didn't have the money, why didn't she get a court-appointed public defender? If she wanted a fancy, get-out-of-jail lawyer, why is that the Florida taxpayer's problem?

[Dilbert San Diego]

My question exactly. Why are the taxpayers on the hook for her dream team of lawyers???????

I'm going to take an unpopular position: I say that any time someone gets a 'not guilty' verdict, the state should pay the expenses they caused that person to incur.

ah well, sounds cheap for making sure an innocent victim wasn’t falsely convicted /sarc

[JustaDumbBlonde]

She didn’t get a court-appointed public defender because Casey and/or her family initially hired Baez or contacted him and he made a court appearance for her. After that, she claimed she couldn’t afford an attorney and Baez was it. I am not sure at all how Baez got all of the others to join the team, but I believe that they worked it pro bono, probably just for the exposure that they all received.

[Revolting cat!]

And this is all a secret during the trial.

The brain dead jury should have to pay.
