Typical lawyer, at least some of them. Move in and ream the neighbors.
Too bad the neighbor was killed, though I would have probably reacted to the shyster the same way.
Hope the bloodsucker is convicted and gets the max.
An alternative reading of this article indicates that the stiff was a free-loader.

Maybe you didn't read the article...Ames used the law, and the state Supreme Court sided with him. He was in the right, and his stupid neighbor kept damaging his property.
Your reaction is just typical knee-jerk lawyer hating.
The writing of this article is slanted against Ames. It looks to me like the victim had been tearing down fences maliciously, and there are some people who take property rights very seriously. Me, for one.
What? I thought everybody researched obscure, 17th century laws concerning fences ;-)
