Yesterday, I wrote my blog entry and then headed to court.
I flipped on CNN in the car and heard an anchor say the the Plaintiff in the Stamford chimp attack case is suing for 50 million dollars! Evidently the good folks at CNN don’t read A Connecticut Law Blog. If they did, they would know that nobody has [...]
