I was woken up at 9:30 AM this morning (an ungodly hour during exams) by my mother, who called at 6:30 AM PST to let me know that "there's a bomb in Midtown." And only in New York is one's first thought to such information, "when is there not a bomb in Midtown?"
It turns out someone decided to blow up some innocuous British flower planters.
My 24-hour crim exam is tomorrow, and I feel like a terrible person but I can't make myself care about the moral purposes of the criminal law or why a necessity defense (US) is better or worse than diminished responsibility (UK) or coercion by the circumstances (Germany). Guys, it's not that lawyers and law students have no souls -- we're just very tired people.
