Here's a late-arriving email on a Fox column I did a couple of months ago about North Carolina's "Senator Handsome" John Edwards:

Great article on John Edwards - the 'botched' childbirth that he won millions on - was not botched. It was an unfortunate outcome - most likely genetic (meaning from conception) - that aroused sympathy in the jury (who had no knowledge or understanding of the intricacies of the case). His millions have been won by emotional persuasion, not from facts. And it put a very good, extremely bright physician out of business - and is doing the same thing to many others.

A jury overwhelmed by emotion in a torts case? You don't say.
