Greedy Trial Lawyer
New York's Federal District Court A Judicial Hellhole
Category: In Your Face
I am APPALLED!! Once again our court system has been hijacked by greedy corporate lawyers who have bamboozled a pliable jury into awarding outrageous compensatory damages and, HORRORS, almost $100 Million in punitive damages.
The defendant corporation was obviously just doing the best it could in the business world. If verdicts like this continue corporations will move to other, more friendly locales. We must shut down the New York Federal District Court or, at least, engrave Judicial Hellhole above its door.
