Beekeest Irrelevant: Justice Fees Debate Looms in Legislature
Justice Raymond Gerhardt voiced opposition to a bill in the legislature that would alter fee distributions for peace justices, arresting officers, and district attorneys. The measure would grant justices 50 percent of a fee after not guilty verdicts, restrict officers and prosecutors, while current law awards full justice fees for not guilty outcomes. The discussion stems from a proposed change affecting fee shares in criminal cases. A separate brief notes Chris Conrad, 19, derided by bees, died after 50 stings near Carville, Ohio.
