Court pays for makeup in Pasco neo-Nazi’s retrial - St. Petersburg Times
CLEARWATER — With the retrial of neo-Nazi John Ditullio looming, his court-appointed attorney asked a judge Thursday for approval of money to defend his client in this hate-crime homicide.
The requested funds included, as they typically do, the costs of traveling to take witness depositions — airfare, hotels, rental cars.
But in this case, the expenses go beyond the typical. Other costs the judge approved are a makeup artist to cover up the tattoos on Ditullio’s face, neck and hands each day of the trial; and three life-sized cardboard cutouts to portray the height and build of some key figures in the case.
