Courts' Revenue Shortfall Prompts Budget Warning
Emergency funds for the courts are about 3.6 million below the original estimate. Torbert says the issue is not the appropriated amount but the law restricting spending without revenue. He warns delays could deny speedy trials and free the guilty and innocent alike. An intensive study seeks why revenues lag and whether earlier estimates were too high. The new system began January 16, with most pre January 16 cases funding counties. Post January 16 filings are fewer and criminal case disposals delayed.
