County Not liable for costs in mandamus case says Register
The Register asserts the county already paid the sheriff fees in a civil mandamus matter and the people have no interest, so the county should not bear costs. It notes the sheriff’s fees were billed in a State of Nevada vs Watkins alias Berry case and paid without proper oversight, implying possible improper handling. If the county seeks recovery, the district attorney may sue.
