Du Pont Ordered to Pay Trial Costs

John E. du Pont was ordered to reimburse the government for the amount it spent to convict him of murder. The final tab: $742,107.20 Du Pont, 58, is serving a 13- to 30-year prison term for the 1996 shooting death of Olympic gold medalist wrestler David Schultz on du Pont’s estate. A jury in February found the chemical fortune heir guilty of third-degree murder but mentally ill. Delaware County Dist. Atty. Patrick Meehan said Du Pont’s high-priced lawyers overloaded his office with more than 80 pretrial motions.
