密尔沃基法庭速记员琳达·杜克罗，63岁，因涉嫌向客户收取法庭记录过高费用，违反威斯康星州的费用限制，被控一级重罪。 Milwaukee court reporter Linda Duchrow, 63, has been charged with a class-I felony for allegedly overcharging clients for court transcripts, violating Wisconsin’s fee limits. 检察官说她收取每页高达22.50美元,远高于25行每页1.50美元的法定费用. 她还为90页的成绩单发出了1000美元和50美元账单, 并未在必要的国家表格上报告收入. Prosecutors say she charged up to $22.50 per page—far above the legal rate of $1.50 per 25-line page—billed $1,000.50 for a 90-page transcript, and failed to report income on required state forms. 她在争议期间转向私人电子邮件, 声称法官允许提高费用, 但2022年的一封电子邮箱提醒她法律限制. She switched to a private email during disputes and claimed judges allowed higher fees, but a 2022 email reminded her of statutory limits. 如果被定罪, 她将面临最高3年半的监禁和1万美元的罚款. If convicted, she faces up to 3.5 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
