The article mentioned it takes 5 hours. So 1/2 a day of work (and $625 of billings) to answer a single question.
From my experience with lawyers in a lawsuit, there where lots and lots of little questions. Eg they'd ask what I meant by a sentence in an email between me and the defendants.
Also, am I the only person who finds it just fucking amazing a prosecutor should be able to read emails between a defendant and his or her lawyer?

It's just another case of people using new technology as an excuse to encroach on rights. Ridiculous and absurd, but I wouldn't say it's surprising that it happened.
