DELPHI, Ind. — A report from the Carroll County Auditor revealed that the Delphi murders trial has cost taxpayers more than $2.5 million and that number is likely to go up even more. In total, Carroll County has written checks totaling $2,588,566.62 for everything associated with the trial which includes prosecution costs, defense costs, jury expenses and courthouse security. Delphi murders: Jury reviewed 4 key pieces of evidence before finding Richard Allen guilty “It's a very high bill for a trial, but not necessarily for this trial," Defense Attorney John Tompkins said. Because Richard Allen was appointed counsel, his defense team's bills are paid for by the county. The report shows Allen's defense has cost taxpayers $1,297,327.77. About half of that expense was for his three defense attorneys who were paid nearly $620k. Lead attorney Andrew Baldwin and his firm, Baldwin, Perry and Wiley, have been paid the most with the county shelling out nearly $343k. Attorney Brad Rozzi and his firm, Hillis, Hillis, Rozzi & Dean, have been paid a little over $200k while attorney Jennifer Auger has received nearly $120k. The defense team also spent just over $107k on expert witnesses which included a firearms expert, a clinical psychologist and an expert on solitary confinement. The bills associated with taking care of the jury are also listed on the defense's expense report. The jury was sequestered for the entire trial which means the county is on the hook for their hotels and meals. The report shows taking care of the jury cost nearly $232k which includes nearly $160k for their hotel stay. Prosecutor Nicholas McLeland spent far less than the defense team on the trial. However, the prosecution's expenses do not include the cost of the police investigators who worked on the case. Altogether, the prosecution spent just over $447k with most of that being spent on attorney fees. Those fees totaled just over $306k with Special Prosecutor James Luttrell being paid nearly $140k and Prosecutor Stacey Diener getting nearly $97k. The prosecution also had to pay nearly $13k to the Indiana Department of Corrections for housing Richard Allen. One of the biggest expenses for the county was courthouse security which cost just over $814k. That included more than $24k for a metal detector, nearly $6k for fencing and barricades and just under $720k for extra officers to secure the building. Tompkins said the cost of a trial rivals the costs associated with a death penalty case which are some of the most expensive. However, he said it's necessary for everyone to get a fair shake. “Put yourself in Russia today. Put yourself in Syria today. Put yourself in any of the places that they are not willing to spend what it takes to be fair to both sides," Tompkins said. "[Then] ask yourself, would I rather live there? I’m pretty sure your answer is no.” Delphi murders: No cameras in court for Richard Allen’s sentencing hearing Carroll County is a member of the Indiana Commission on Court Appointed Attorneys which makes them eligible to be reimbursed for 40% of the defense team's expenses. Their reimbursement would be nearly $519k, but they're still responsible for all of the prosecution and courthouse security costs. That means the county will still be on the hook for more than $2 million. The Carroll County Auditor said the report was only an accounting of the checks that have been written so far. However, they expect more checks will be written in the future. You can find a full list of the expenses below.
