Reply to comment by NativeNYer10019 in Chicago prosecutor dropping R. Kelly sex-abuse charges by roundposter

Why would it cost tax payers millions of dollars? Is it the judge making that money? The prosecutors who have a specific salary they are paid? Is it the court clerks? Why assume this would cost millions? It costs the defendant a fuck ton of money because they have to pay a defense attorney, but where does this “millions” come from for one trial?

It costs EVERYONE a shit ton of money to hold any length trial, but especially a lengthy, high profile one like this. The costs associated with moving ahead with this would be astronomical.
