Police Jury to pay most of jur
The Ouachita Parish Police Jury will pay the legal bills for a police juror whose indictment was dropped by state prosecutors because of lack of credible evidence.
It voted 3-2 Monday to pay King Dawson's legal fees at the rate recommended by the state attorney general's office — about two-thirds the rate requested by attorney Charles Jones for work done over almost 3 1/2 years.
He had asked for $225 an hour, a total of $56,770. The figure approved was $175 an hour, or $38,342. It also paid him for 219 hours of work, rather than the 244 he billed the parish for.
Dawson left the room for the brief discussion and subsequent voted and later declined comment.
Police Jury President Walt Caldwell, one of the two "nay" voters, did not specify why he opposed the payment but did indicate he is concerned it may set a precedent. "Once you open the door, when does it stop?" Caldwell asked.
The state Attorney General's Office dropped charges against Dawson in December, nearly three and a half years after he was indicted along with seven other people associated with the Police Jury.
State law allows but does not require government to pay legal fees for elected officials or public employees who are acquitted or whose charges are dismissed.
