Part of me thinks that it kind of follows that if the city is responsible for his defense, that they pay the penalty if he loses.
If they shouldn't be paying if he loses, then why are they defending him? Either they are responsible for his actions, or not.
Seems like a strange legal situation that would be created which is almost saying, "I am going to defend you, but I have no real incentive for you to win."
