    The kids dad was the one who fought this the whole time.

    Halfway through the case, the dad changed their defense from "The radar gun was wrong", to "It was an illegal speed trap."

    They knew they were going to lose the whole time, they just hoped the county wouldn't put out the money.
    Example:
    They waited until the county had paid the expenses for an expert to come fly cross country and testify. Right before he was to testify, the kids lawyer got a continuation so the expert had to go home and get paid again to come out later.
