The Journal's lead editorial today (sub-only) is on the dramatic developments in the Kentucky fen-phen scandal, in which a federal judge has ordered three trial lawyers (Shirley Cunningham Jr., William Gallion, and Melbourne Mills Jr.) held in jail as flight risks pending trial on charges of doing clients out of $62 million in settlement funds. Ted covered the story at Overlawyered a week ago, and our extensive coverage of the issue is here and here.
