Douglas County waives attorney fees for indigent cases
Douglas County will no longer order indigent defendants to repay attorney fees in misdemeanor cases and plans to reassess court fees to reduce financial hardship. Judge James McCabrin notes that waivers were common in the past and that the county aims to stop pursuing reimbursements while continuing to evaluate other fees. Plinsky says the county seeks to decriminalize poverty and reduce burdens on indigent offenders, with felony cases handled by the state Board of Indigent Defense Services (BIDS) rather than locally.
