And for good measure - any attorney that's assinine to defend the perp, or sue someone else on the perp's behalf, should be forced, by the courts, to share in the repatriation to any and all victims of the perp's actions. Maybe a few attorneys having to "buck-up" for halfa**ed lawsuits and countersuits will thin out some of these frivoulous court actions that currently clogging courts around the country.
