These requirements make it difficult for true criminals to profit from their crimes, but, as University of Houston Law Center professor Meredith Duncan points out, they also make it exceedingly difficult for bad lawyers to be held accountable for their harmful actions. In "Criminal Malpractice: A Lawyer's Holiday," Duncan argues that defense attorneys should not be immune from civil punishment just because they often represent unsavory characters. Duncan views the tort system as a means of punishing "delinquent defense lawyers, not rewarding poorly represented defendants." But at a time when legislators are eagerly limiting medical malpractice awards, does Duncan really think they will remove tort-claim barriers for convicts? Sounds unlikely—unless lawyer-hating lawmakers see it as a chance to give the bar a taste of their own torts. Georgia Law Review, Volume 37,

SULESKIS GET LIFE TERMS IN GIRL'S DEATH

Source: ASSOCIATED PRESS
ELIZABETHTOWN -- A judge sentenced Tom and Roxanne Suleski yesterday to life in prison without parole for 25 years in the 1989 murder and kidnapping of Tom Suleski's 5-year-old daughter. "It's always appalling to me to see a case like this where a parent is convicted of killing his or her own child," said Hardin Circuit Judge William Cooper. "After all, the primary role of a parent is to protect children from outside predators,

Source: ASSOCIATED PRESS
ELIZABETHTOWN -- The teen-age daughter of Roxanne Suleski said she finally told authorities she saw her mother kill her 5-year-old stepsister in 1989 because her mother had begun to abuse another stepdaughter. Roxanne Suleski and her husband, Tom, were sentenced to life without parole for 25 years Monday for placing Alex Suleski in a trash bag and allowing her to die. Tom Suleski allegedly buried his daughter's body after Roxanne opened the bag the next morning and found

Justice Scalia, writing for the majority, noted that the "first step is . . . to determine the relevant facts." Normally, of course, courts take the non-moving party's version of the facts as given. [Or, to be more precise, the district court resolves factual disputes in favor of the non-moving party.] But here, the videotape "quite clearly contradicts the version of the story told by respondent and adopted by the Court of Appeals." Notwithstanding a disagreement with Justice Stevens on what whether that statement was accurate ("We are happy to allow the videotape to speak for itself." Slip Op. at 5), the Court proceeded to reject the nonmoving party's version of the facts. To do so, it relied on the ordinary rule that the dispute of facts must be "genuine": the Respondent's version of the facts is "so utterly discredited by the record that no reasonable jury could have believed him." (Slip Op. at 8).
