A Manhattan judge has refused to assign an attorney to represent "Fatal Attraction" murderer Carolyn Warmus in her legal malpractice suit against her attorney. Warmus had moved by order to show cause for the court to assign her an attorney, free of charge, for her case against solo practitioner Julia P. Heit. But Supreme Court Justice Carol Robinson Edmead ruled that doing so would set a "shocking precedent, opening the flood gates of requests by state prisoners who have complaints against their attorneys."
