[edit] Debate over DNC trial tab heats up
"On Thursday's Mike Rosen Show, Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper criticized a coalition of defense attorneys who have alleged that the city could spend $500,000 to prosecute protesters arrested during August's Democratic National Convention.
Denver city officials, including Hickenlooper, have widely criticized the estimated tab, first reported in Face The State earlier this month but are now refusing to provide alternate figures.
During Hickenlooper's monthly appearance on Rosen's 850 KOA show at 10 a.m., Rosen raised the issue of the trials with Hickenlooper.
"Robert Corry, who's one of the defense attorneys, said that the city is spending more than $500,000 for prosecutors, judges, clerks, police officers and other witnesses," said Rosen. "Seems to me that's a fixed cost. These are people who are on salary anyways.""
