Consider this case recently presented on a network news show (can't
remember which): Woman wins 1.5 million dollar sexual harassment suit.
She gets approx. $330,000, lawyers get rest. Now she has to pay tax on
the whole award and has a net loss of $100,000! Don't know the details
of the tax law involved, but those are facts as presented on the the
show.

The best part is that at the end of the day, the Carnahans will probably
owe money anyway.

The only one who makes any money in these stupid lawsuits is the lawyers.
