I left out part of the reason they have not stepped up.
This case is making a lot of lawyers rich. And this is not the only case where lawyers are happy defending or prosecuting a a meritless case.
Win, lose or draw, they charge by the hour.
In this case, as in many others, the Judges are at fault.
Well said! You are absolutely right.
Not unusual to see lawyers from both sides of a case lunching at the restaurants near our local courthouse. These folks work together in the same building day in, day out.
Tort reform is a pipe dream - there's so much money wrapped up in the status quo.
