    Many states have many laws that include paying for damages. You might want to research more.

      I know that but if the prosecutor and Public Def get paid by the state or county does that mean they are double dipping? Why not just say pay this amount and it goes to the victim or victims. And if they can’t let them work it off at the local jail for 40 dollars a day which is given to the person who is wronged? Now everyone is saying the prosecution and lawyers need to get paid and everything then it would seem the defender and prosecutor, you paying more is in their best interest. So basically a public defender is actively working against you for a bigger check.
