Both sides appealing attorneys fees award in Heller

Posted by David Hardy · 23 February 2012 07:40 PM

Story here. Basically, the trial court awarded Heller's team somewhat over a million. DC wants it to be more like $840,000, and Heller's team thinks $3 million is a better number.

I personally find it delightful that the argument is over whether DC will be out of pocket for $800,000, or a million, or three million.... The last number sounds so reasonable, but the fact that the District is looking at 840K as the bottom line for violating the Second Amendment is quite amusing.

I'd hate to see it drop in favor of D.C., but it's still a hit. $3M is good, although 10x is better...

Seems to me any number is important given the city originally expected to not have to pay a dime. All these cities and counties and even States that went with the gun control movement expected to cut expenditures for Police, and to bankrupt the NRA in lawsuits. Instead the cities and States are spending more for Police protection while also loosing in the courts and having to pay the legal fees. And one wonders why a year or so ago Brady campaign sold their donor list.
