Hollywood couldn't write stuff this funny:

Convicted rapist sues hospital

Edward Brewer, in prison for raping Providence patient, calls nursing staff negligent and asks for $2 million.

I can only surmise that he feels if the hospital had provided better security, he wouldn't have been able to commit the rape and thus would not be in prison. Hmm.

As Best of the Web points out, however, this mental giant has a wonderful track record. The original rape charge was reduced via a plea bargin, down to sexual battery, and Brewer got five years. However....

Brewer appealed, and the 6th District Court of Appeals in Toledo sent the case back to Erie County Common Pleas Court on the grounds Brusnahan should not have advised his client to agree to the plea bargain.

According to the appeals court, because the victim had died of causes unrelated to the alleged sexual assault, Brusnahan should have realized how weak the case against Brewer was, a theory with which Brusnahan disagreed. Brewer was sentenced to 10 years in prison after he was convicted in his second trial...

So, apparently Brusnahan (Brewer's original attorney) understood the rape case very well, more so than either Brewer or the appeals court. Oops!
