What was the cost of this farce

[lotsa]

Its time to demand an audit of the cost of the JJ prosecution. Not only was it ill advised but it was a tremendous waste of time, resources and money. The personell and their support staffs not to mention the Judge and her staff all have and had better things to do. The more important story, though, is the waste and unequal treatment of Jordy.

What were the hours (paid and unpaid) spent by County and State employees, how do these hours equate to salaries, overtime and comp time, what were the total cost and expenses for trial including a breakdown of expert fees and expenses etc. Why couldnt the bloated County staff or County Attorney himself do the work instead of having to pay for an innefectual Assistant Attorney General?

Finally, lets compare the results and total expense figures to prosecutions of regular citizens where other agendas were not in play.

Well, they didn't spend a lot of money investigating the case....they let the defense pay for that.

I don't know, but expect a proposed increase in property taxes soon.

Here is a copy of what I posted on another thread, it fits better here.

To me this is a no brainer. If he wants to play, which he does, he is back. Once a GRIZ, always a GRIZ.

JJ, his family, the accuser, and her family have been through hell and back. Enough of the hell, time to let them heal. I feel all of them have been victimized by a very messed up system. Someone within Missoula's legal community should have had the brass balls to put this to rest well before the trial. This should have never gone to trial.

I want to know if anyone had the heart and professionalism to honestly tell this girl, there was not enough there to get a conviction? With money wasted on the case, did anyone even consider having impartial outside parties review this case, and give their opinions? I feel that would have been much wiser.

Honestly to God, with what we seen presented by the prosecution, who honestly thinks this case should have gone to trial? I am sorry, and not trying to turn this into a heated argument, but I really question if any ethics and morals were used in this case from the beginning? I also question the professionalism within the Missoula County legal process, and the President of U of M. He had a wide open door after the trial to start the healing, but his ego got in the way, and made himself look worse

The system raked two young adults, and their families, through hell. These people will never get back this time. Someone gave Jane Doe very bad advise, or she refused to listen. Who was trying to gain what professionally? Not only did the prosecution get their ass handed to them, but it looks like this case likely will have sunk FVV, and the judge, when all is said and done. I have never seen or heard of a judge come off more unprofessional and more biased. This judge had an apparent agenda, and it was made known by her actions this whole time. As for FVV, I can actually rationalize in the pressure and scrutiny he was under to bring this to trial.

Professionally, I don't know how this case will impact the prosecuting lawyers, but what they presented sure in the hell was a joke to tax payer money. Then again, maybe they too were also working with a short deck from the get go.

Let JJ play football!!!!

Your question about who gained from this circus is interesting.

I believe one witness for the prosecution received a promotion from Main Hall to "interim director" of SARC in June 2012.
