[edit] Camden sheriff may have to pay legal fees

"An argument over whether Camden County Sheriff Bill Smith should pay the legal fees of an attorney who sued him for seized drug records will take at least another 28 days to resolve.

Superior Court Judge Amanda Williams ordered Smith's lawyer to file a brief explaining why St. Marys lawyer Jim Stein should not be paid for filing a suit to get copies of the Sheriff's Office's seized assets account. Williams wants lawyer Terry Readdick to explain why Smith didn't cite specific state laws that would allow his office to deny an open records request for the records. Williams gave Readdick 14 days to file his brief and Stein 14 days to respond."
