State's attorney highlights digital evidence equipment and paternity testing on monthly bills
Summary
A state's attorney's office representative flagged bills for digital-evidence equipment, a University of Illinois forensic exam in an abuse case, and LabCorp paternity testing for juvenile cases; the board approved the office's bills by voice vote.
A representative from the LaSalle County state's attorney's office summarized items on the office’s monthly bills and answered questions from the board.
Jason, speaking for the state's attorney's office, said the bills include costs for investigators’ digital‑evidence equipment used to download phones and computers seized during investigations, a University of Illinois forensic exam in an abuse case and LabCorp charges for paternity testing needed in juvenile matters. He described these items as highlighted expenditures among otherwise routine bills for the office.
The nut graf: These technical and medical costs are part of the office’s routine monthly expenditures and reflect forensic, investigative and juvenile-case needs.
Jason asked if there were any questions; none were raised by board members. The board then moved to approve the state's attorney’s bills and carried the motion by voice vote.
Ending: The county approved the bills as presented; the state's attorney’s office will continue routine billing and investigative support work.
