yesterday was...

a good day for:

American lawyers, when a district judge approved fees of $2,035,658 to 19 lawyers and nine assistants after a case in which they had won their clients $1 in damages rather than the $6.17m which had been claimed.

a bad day for:

Good taste, as a Columbia County Circuit judge ruled that the refrigerator in which serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer stored parts of his victims should be sold for as much money as possible to settle claims by victims' families.
