Good stuff.

“You can’t get any more evil,” he told The New Yorker.
“How much do I beat up on myself about the fact that he’s my son? A lot,” he added.
Lanza, a vice president for GE Energy Financial Services who divorced Adam’s mom Nancy in 2009, revealed he hadn’t seen his child for two years before the shocking shooting.
The 40-page lawsuit calls the Bushmaster AR-15 used in the attacks a “military weapon” that was marketed to civilians, despite “no evidence that semiautomatic rifles are … necessary for legitimate self-defense by law-abiding citizens.”
The Bushmaster X-15 that Lanza used to carry out the attack was designed for mass-casualty assaults, the suit alleges, and is “essentially indistinguishable” from the military model, the M16. The manufacturer and sellers should have known about the “unreasonably high risk” the gun would be used in a mass shooting of that kind, the suit says.
Like this wouldn't have happened except she was at a school?

I'm betting the blood-sucking ambulance chasers that convinced the families to file suit neglected to mention this detail.Earlier this month, lawyers for the theater company told a judge they needed the money to cover the costs of preserving evidence, copying records, travel and other expenses stemming from the lawsuit, the Associated Press reports. The attorneys filed a "bill of costs" totaling $699,187.13, according to the Denver Post.
The judge did not immediately make a ruling on the request, but state courts allow the winner of the court case to recover legal fees, the AP reports.
I condemn those condemners.Cinemark's request – filed in Arapahoe County District Court, according to the Post – has sparked outrage, with many taking to social media to condemn the theater company.
Hah. I bet their lawyers have all the proper forms signed that protect them against any legal repercussions.TheCatt wrote:Yeah, that was a stupid lawsuit to begin with, but I'm guessing their lawyers talked them into it. I say make their lawyers pay, since they should have provided better advice to their clients.

That's bad because of this.The plaintiffs and their attorneys all seemed to agree. They decided on a split of $30,000 each to the three most critically injured survivors. The remaining 38 plaintiffs would equally share the remaining $60,000.
Attorneys with Cinemark drafted a news release to distribute the next day.
Then one plaintiff rejected the deal.
Everyone except four people jumped ship.The deal came with an implied threat: If the survivors rejected the deal, moved forward with their case and lost, under Colorado law, they would be responsible for the astronomical court fees accumulated by Cinemark.
Four plaintiffs remained on the case the next day, June 24, when Jackson handed down the order that Cinemark was not liable for the damages.
The court costs in the state case were $699,000. The costs in the federal case are expected to be far more.
"A blind guy in a dark alley could have seen (the state verdict) coming," Hardman, Weaver's attorney, said.
