Committee member (S2) asked about a $132,000 contingency for capital litigation. Chair (S1) and Staff member (S4) said the county had originally budgeted $45,000 for the case, were already about $33,000 over that amount, and requested adding at least $100,000 more to cover projected costs if the state seeks the death penalty, which would further increase expenses.
