I had no idea it was that high. What does it apply to? If I'm falsely accused of robbery, should I expect to pay 1.5 million to defend myself?

- e12e 14y agoWhat, defend yourself ? What would happen to the prison workforce if poor people could avoid conviction simply because they were innocent ?

- mynameishere 14y agoThe typical accused criminal in the US pays exactly zero to defend himself. The counties and states are more efficient than the feds, and as it happens, your typical burglar/rapist/drunk driver/drug dealer is, in fact, guilty, and plea bargains a year or five in the pen. But, when the feds want to railroad a person, well, that person gets railroaded. He probably should have skipped bail.
