- 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."
