The judge, Andrea Beall, ruled Tuesday that the prosecutors, Brian Wice and Kent Schaffer, are owed the $300-an-hour rate by the county that they were promised when they started on the case in 2015. They have not gotten paid since January 2016 after Collin County, the original venue for the case, balked at the payment schedule, prompting years of legal wrangling over it.
The pay dispute was one of the last remaining issues to settle before Paxton goes to trial in the case. The trial is set to start April 15, 2024. The case is now over eight years old, delayed by pretrial disputes including the pay issue and the venue.
