The court acquitted the defendant of intentional endangerment and ordered the state to cover the public defender's fees. The defendant, who was indigent, had been charged with causing carbon monoxide poisoning through a chimney sweep's negligence. Although the state was relieved of court costs due to the acquittal, the court ruled that the defendant must still reimburse the public defender's expenses as they are personal legal costs, not state court fees.
