Fascinating that the trial has even got to this point. I think it’s Britain where, if you go to court in a civil case and lose, the defendant’s legal fees are passed to the plaintiff. Can you imagine what would happen to the US “court clog” if we had such a system?
I don’t believe any private party should have to another party’s lawyer’s fees.
It is not my fault that the law is a mess and that people are unable to state their own case after 13 years of taxpayer-funded education.
