Auburn/Lee Cty DA seeking $1.042 million from Updyke

quote:
The district attorney’s office estimated the cost to Auburn University and the expenses incurred by the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries for analysis of soil samples was $521,396.24.
The university has spent $89,916.74 for work related to the trees so far and estimates their replacement will cost $425,780, according to figures cited in the motion. The motion estimated the department of agriculture spent $5,700 on testing and soil samples.
The district attorney’s office argues the amount should be doubled to $1.042 million under a statute in the Alabama Code that requires anyone convicted of the offense to be required to pay twice the value of the damaged animal or crop for any reasonable costs of replacement.
Under the plea deal, Updyke received a three-year-split sentence, with six months incarceration and five years of supervised probation. He had 104 days of jail credit, leaving him with 76 days to serve at the time of his sentencing in March.
He is completing the remainder of the sentence at the Lee County Detention Center in the medical pod because of his health.

I'm sure Updyke will pay in full.

Does Updyke have money to take?

Might can cut in on his WIC, Medicaid, Disability to retrieve some of it.

That is a lot of paper money. Wonder how many dead trees it would take to get that much printed?

No way those trees are worth five Cams.

Updyke is going to pour out some mad dog 20/20 on the saplings as part of his restitution.

Auburn doesn't need to recoup the money from Updyke (not that they expect to, anyways), but they definitely need to make an example out of him. The lawsuit should be viewed totally separate and distinct from Updyke's criminal conviction. They should auction off all of his unprotected assets and take his trees.

The United States dollar is made of cotton, not paper.

Not to make fun of my own, but if we paid 100k for a shattered crystal football no telling how much we would pay for his shitty trailer.
I would probably even bid a few k, would be awesome to get a huge outdoor screen and throw Bama game parties/tailgates at Hotel Updyke.

Just make him auction off anything that has to do with Alabama. That'll probably hurt him more than anything.

since when does replacing trees cost $425,780?

Old mature trees have a hefty price tag, but the majority of this cost is because of location and infrastructure around them.
