We've just posted a contribution by Pittsburgh Tribune-Review columnist Ralph Reiland, who reflects on two of last year's most curious news items on the subject of blame-shifting: 1) a NYC jury's determination that the Port Authority was more responsible for the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center than the terrorists themselves; and 2) the large settlement won by a multiple offender in England who reportedly fell through a skylight while paying an uninvited visit to the top of a warehouse building. For more information on the two cases, see Overlawyered here and here, respectively.
