Comment on Grieving Louisiana father faces $18,000 bill to access state records of son’s case

It's 37,000 pages of documents.
$18k is for paper copies ($.50 a page)
$5,500 for digit, to cover the cost of scanning and redacting.
Or he can come to the office to review the files for free (though he's claiming the travel costs are prohibitive).

The likely perpetrators are in jail for theft from his son and have been ordered to pay $330k to his family. Prosecutors don't think they can make murder stick.

I feel for the grieving father, but I'm afraid my outrage meter isn't dinging on this one.
