Three Lexington, Ky., attorneys filed into a Kentucky federal courtroom last week to face criminal charges that they stole $46 million in settlement money from clients who won a case alleging injuries from the diet drug fen-phen.
The attorneys on trial, William J. Gallion; Shirley A.

Moore v. A.H. Robins, No. 98-795.
