Yeah, barely, me too. But there are some lawyers who can't forget: The Supreme Court is still trying to decide how many punnies (PYOO-nees) Exxon should pay for that whole bumblefuck. Exxon says $2.5 billion is excessive, and apparently the fight was hard on the affirmatives: "Lawyers for the plaintiffs, some of whom are deceased, said the damages award is 'barely more than three weeks of Exxon's net profits.'"
That's the best argument I've ever heard a dead lawyer make. If JP had his druthers, there'd have been a freshly-carved gavel hitting mahogeny a loooong time ago in this affair.
