Good news. I hope she loses the other cases that have been filed against her and ends up owing so much money that even her book sales won’t be enough to bail her out.
Hey stranger! I was just thinking how long it’s been since I’ve seen you around here!
BTW - Rutgers still sucks.
The state prosecuted her at their cost and she was found not guilty.
Why should she be responsible for the search?
I think she did it but my opinion doesn’t matter.
It's nice to see you, JRBC! :)
If she’d have been a black ex-NFL hero, she’d now owe NOTHING and be off, golfing.
She’s guilty, but she was found innocent.
More and more this is what I see; gov’t taxes us heavily on the premise they have to give us all this faaaancy stuff. THEN, if you use it? You owe them allll over again.
If we have to pay cash at some point, why not simply just MAKE IT ALL PRIVATE, hmmmm...?
No problem. That will be small change to her after her TV, magazine, and book deals.
My opinions of this woman aside, Florida can shove it. They failed to make their case; why is she liable for the State’s gambles?
I agree with all those that think she is guilty, but this amounts to a civil fine upon someone who is found not guilty. A concept that does not fit well with my notion of fair and equitable government.
As much as I loved Reagan, I’ve never liked the notion civil forfeiture that his policies brought about.
They just beg for abuse.
Personally, I think the Orange County Prosecutor should pay the tab for screwing up the trial like he did. That goes for that chick he had assisting him too.
Did she kill her daughter?? If I was on the jury (I did sit on a murder trial jury and we found for the defendant) The O/C prosecutor did not convince the jury!

I totally agree! 12 idiots is all it takes to walk free. God will take care of her one day!
There is no double jeopardy and there certainly is no constitutional right to defraud taxpayers by sending cops on a 5 month wild goose chase.
Sorry, but this amounts to an illegal taking. "No person shall be deprived of Life, Liberty, or Property without due process of law."
If you can be charged for the prosecution building a case even if you are found 'not guilty' by the jury, no person is safe, no home, no bank account, no one.
Anyone could be extensively investigated and then tried for any crime, exonnerated, and then handed a bill for however much the jurisdiction claimed to spend--a bill that would be sure to strip you of all your assets.
Like the results or not, this is wrong.
Granted we all think the chick did it but i don’t like the precedent this sets and it should be challenged. Lets say you are found innocent of killing someone by a jury but perhaps was a bit less forthcoming on the advice of a lawyer regarding certain details, causing the police to search a little harder for evidence that in the end didn’t stack up. The judge is saying that the state can recoup the costs of attempting to prosecute you, despite the fact you were found innocent.
Doesn’t fly with me!
OK, but if Casey has to pay back the $98,000.00 for the 4 misdemeanor charges she was guilty of, then does that mean that we have to pay her back for the 2 serious charges that she was NOt Guilty of?
This could end up costing us tax payers a lot of money if we have to reimburse Jose Baez.
