The St. Paul Pioneer Press’ Rachel Stassen-Berger reports today that Norm Coleman’s lawyers may have cost him more than $16,000 for messing up the direct examination of elections judge Pam Howell.

Here’s the full affidavit (PDF), now independently obtained by MinnPost.

Earlier this week, the Franken side submitted an affidavit seeking $16,132 for the mistake, with billable hours ranging from $418 per hour for Minneapolis lawyer David Lillehaug to $538 per hour for chief Franken recount attorney Marc Elias.
