The Bard Was Right

He once said we should “first, kill the lawyers”. Yes, I know that’s a bit of hyperbole, but after reading this story, I would say not by much.

The sociopath Eric Rudolph is convicted of bombing the Birmingham, Alabama family planning clinic and the Atlanta Olympics (in the Birmingham bombing, nurse Emily Lyons is maimed and loses an eye), and in the process, draws praise from fellow insects here.

The lawyers defending Rudolph, according to the CNN story, receive $4 million.

What does bombing victim Lyons receive?

$57.69

I hope you have better luck controlling the churning in your guts than I am having at this moment.
