Surprising law school-related news story.

Today, I was catching up on my RSS feeds and saw this article about how a person who notified authorities with information leading to the capture of a rapist gave his award to the victim of the crime. Despite the tragedy of the underlying crime, it was really a prime example of true selflessness toward others. Upon closer reading, however, I also noticed this tidbit about the suspect:

Jakub Tomczak, a Polish national, was found guilty of rape and causing grievous bodily harm at Exeter Crown Court in January last year and was given two life sentences to be served in Poland.

The 25-year-old, who was a law student at the time, had been on a night out in the city, and his movements were tracked by CCTV camera.

Sometimes law school fails to teach how to follow the law, I guess.
