If you, like me, miss the Alex Murdaugh trial — and in particular the courtroom testimony of poor uneducated low country folk whose two million dollar personal injury settlements were stolen in their entirety by Murdaugh — direct your attention to Detroit. In that city, not merely lawyers, but also a judge, have been stealing from their most vulnerable wards — old, impoverished, profoundly disabled people who had been placed in this group’s safekeeping.
I mean, any of us would have been tempted. These are no ‘count senile shut-ins who probably don’t expect anything other than the thin gruel and oblivion that is their lot. I mean, go for it.
