Wow, the previous estimate was grossly underestimated.
Looks like it's probably gonna cost Arizona tax payers closer to $2 million than $1 million on Arias's defense by the time the verdict is delivered. I don't think that includes the cost of her 5 years of lodging, medical care, etc...
I'd actually like to see the cost itemization. I know it's not gonna be released, but am curious (nosy?) as to how much has been paid to Samuels, LaViolette, and the mitigation specialist.
Not sure there's a better way, but the amount of taxpayer money spent on the likes of Jodi Arias is seriously frustrating.
