We saw a lot of pages on May 1. If these were added all together it might add up to one person paying for them but not several media outlets. There were 7 items copied and paid for. WFTV had 21 docs that day, 317 pages. Now, I suppose all of the news stations could pitch in together and share the cost for one copy, if they put away their competitive nature long enough. There was a total of $38 paid between doc dumps here. 38/317= .12 per page, quite a deal, actually, if it was the media gaining access. I suspect it is the defense and they only took what was actually new. I know the Cain interviews were a repeat already paid for once.
If you look at the court record from May 21 forward you will see that there was a lot of payment activity even though none of the media posted any of the discover released on May 21 or June 8. I never said I knew for sure how this is working. I just know I see no hint that the Sentinel, channel 2, 6, 9 and 13 are all shown paying for copies on the court case file. That would require many more entries or only being charged a pittance. If all 4 sites paid for them, that would be 1268 pages, only .03 per page. But the entries would need to be different if that were the case. Also, I remember it being reported that they expected Baez to pay around $900 for the tips. That doesn't sound free to me.
My attorney told me he could listen to a transcript without charge but if he wanted a hard copy we would have to pay. This was not for a criminal case either, it was part of a civil divorce, initiated by the parties, not the state. That is different than a criminal case. It is my opinion it is wrong to charge the defense for discovery. I will call there on Monday and ask whos fees and payments are shown on the case file. It says defendant details not public details so it makes no sense it would be the media or the public at large.
