GRAPEVINE, Page 17Guilty! Call My Agent!
By SIDNEY URQUHART
The Milwaukee judge who sentenced serial killer Jeffrey
Dahmer to 15 consecutive life terms appears to be rushing from
the bench to the word processor. According to a recent ad in
Daily Variety, Laurence Gram's The Jeffrey Dahmer Case: A
Judge's Perspective is in the works. And so is a film script
titled The Jeffrey Dahmer Confessions, to be based on the
judge's book but not written by him. "The judge doesn't want a
horror picture per se," says agent Lew Breyer. "But I have
written in one or two horror scenes that are horrific in
describing one of the murders." While Gram says he will not
pocket any profits from the book, New York University law
professor Stephen Gillers points out that since judges are not
bound by clear ethical guidelines, Gram "could keep every cent."
Gillers, who teaches legal and judicial ethics, is "skeptical"
of a sitting judge who might "view his or her docket as material
for future popular exploitation."
