Linkworthy

Last year I wrote of how Esmin Green collapsed and died in the waiting room at Kings County Hospital, after waiting there for 24 hours. But the person that wrote she was "awake, up and about" apparently wasn't aware that there was video, showing she had collapsed 1/2 hour before. Outrage followed. That case has now settled. See: Waiting Room Death Case Settles at TortDeform, Some justice for Esmin Green at last at Islandista, and City Settles For $2 Million In Death Of Neglected Patient at the Gothamist.

In the Bronx, one cop shot to death another. The Daily News has taken the racial angle on the shooting right away: Black cop killed by white officer: Horror in East Harlem as off-duty rookie is shot pursuing suspect;

And there is no need to panic, Blawg Review #213 at Cyberlaw Central came right on time on Towel Day. So hitch on over for a round-up on the week in law and, perhaps, a few candid shots of law bloggers with their favorite towels. And yes, I am in there.
