Unaffordable Justice

When I read this little item — http://hometownstation.com/santa-clarita-news/la-superior-court-budget-shortfall-causes-location-changes-33582 — about how the Los Angeles Superior Court is consolidating types of cases, closing court locations all over the county and laying off personnel by the boatload — http://www.forbes.com/sites/shenegotiates/2012/12/05/public-justice-nears-collapse-in-wake-of-california-budget-cuts/– I wondered if the court could afford another trial like the 1995  O.J. Simpson murder case, which cost the county an estimated $9 million. http://www.cnn.com/US/OJ/daily/9512/12-02/index.html
