The Investigation…$3,650.
The cost to fly the prosecutor out here from Washington, DC to investigate the heinous crimes I allegedly committed includes his pay as a CWA Representative (Assistant to President Bahr), expenses, flight, rental car, hotel and meals. The figure below also includes the cost of the LTW (lost time wages) paid to the people he spent two (2) days with while conducting his investigation:

The Trial…$2,810.
The cost to fly the prosecutor out here again to stage the trial he recommended to the CWA Executive board includes his pay as a CWA Representative (Assistant to President Bahr), expenses, flight, rental car, hotel and meals. The cost of the LTW for the witnesses he had to prep and for the day of the trial are listed elsewhere.

The Trial Panel (kangaroos)…$4,245. 
The cost to fly a three- (3) member trial panel from New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia includes their wages, lodging, expenses and meals.

The Witnesses (theirs)…$1,800.
The cost is estimated on the basis of LTW for the four (4) I saw during the trial and the day (Friday October 23, 1998) it took to prep them so their stories would jive. They were prepped prior to the trial in case they were cross-examined not that their lack of credibility would matter anyway. The total does not include any expenses, which may or may not include meals, overnight lodging or mileage and parking.

Witnesses (mine)…$900.
This is an estimated cost of LTW for four (4) witnesses and myself. It includes their estimated expenses of coffee and muffins at the hotel, along with mileage and parking.

A CWA Staff Representative took the recording from District Nine. The cost is an estimate or her daily pay rate. It did not include her expenses or the price of the audiotape.

Hilton Hotel Courtroom Charges…$750

Estimated cost of Three (3) rooms. One for the trial, one for the Local's witnesses and a room for my witnesses.
