The bill submitted by the taxpayer-funded legal team trying to keep a convicted double cop killer from being executed is approaching $1 million and growing.
Attorneys for Ronell Wilson, who coldly executed undercover cops Rodney Andrews and James Nemorin in 2003, racked up a $965,000 tab attempting to prove in Brooklyn federal court that he is mentally retarded, and thus exempt from the death penalty.
That bill doesn’t yet include fees from expert witnesses who will testify and for other expenses.
Wilson’s first death sentence, in 2006, was overturned in 2010 on procedural grounds.
