Cosby trial cost $219K, more than half paying for overtime
Officials say Bill Cosby's trial last month in suburban Philadelphia cost the
local government $219,000, with more than half going toward overtime for
deputies, detectives, security guards and court personnel.
Montgomery County released a breakdown Thursday that says it racked up about
$46,000 in hotel stays for jurors who were brought in from Pittsburgh to hear
the case. Juror meals amounted to $14,000.
Running a video and audio feed to an overflow courtroom added $16,000 in
costs.
The jury wasn't able to come to a verdict, and the 80-year-old Cosby is
scheduled for retrial in November.
He's accused of drugging and molesting a woman more than a decade ago. He
didn't testify at the first trial.
