MILFORD — Pike County District Attorney Raymond Tonkin released the costs of the Eric Frein case incurred to date by the District Attorney’s Office: a total of $41,717.19 was run up in 2015, 2016, and 2017.
The costs included expert witnesses, travel, and lodging for trial witnesses, and travel and expenses for jury selection in Chester County. The largest single expense was for a neuropsychologist to evaluate the defendant, which was $11,355, Tonkin said.
Frein was convicted of first degree murder of a state trooper and terrorism, among other charges, in a weeks-long trial at the Pike County Courthouse in Milford. He received the death penalty.
“At the District Attorney’s Office, we do our best to serve the public, while keeping a watchful eye on expenses," said Tonkin. "We stayed well under the budget set by the County Commissioner for our office expenditures related to the case.”
