The process of reimbursing people for the biggest drug lab scandals in the nation’s history is moving forward.
The settlement is the result of a class action lawsuit seeking to reimburse those who had their cases dismissed. The fees eligible for reimbursement include probation fees, victim witness fees, GPS monitoring costs and driver's license reinstatement fees. "Not only did I already put my life on hold for the years that I was using, but now I was ready to be a functional member of society and I was blocked from doing that because of these charges," Westcott said.
