I don't understand how anyone can look at this story and think that we live under a "rule of law". Our rights and freedoms are only available to us if we're willing to pay top dollar for them. To the tune of $3M in this guy's case.
If we really want to believe that justice is available to all, we need to push for universal legal insurance, something akin to Medicare, so that everyone can afford their day in court against a MegaCorp that's trying to muscle them out.
