Supreme Court orders convicted mayor to pay trial costs
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that a person convicted of a crime must pay the full trial costs, even if the trial was moved to another county for pre trial publicity. Former Williamsport Mayor John R. Coder was assessed ten thousand dollars in costs, later reduced by the trial court, with the high court reinstating the state position. Dissenters argued the ruling is unthinkable and penalizes the exercise of constitutional rights.
