Princess Di Paparazzi Finally Convicted
It's taken almost 10 years, but the asshat photographers who took some of the final pictures of Princess Diana and her companion, Dodi Al Fayed, as they left the Ritz Hotel in Paris and after their accident in the Alma underpass. The higher court, in contrast two to lower court acquittals, determined that the three flash freaks were guilty of invading Di and Dodi's privacy under French law, fined them each one Euro (which is symbolic more than anything), and ordered to pay for the publication of their conviction notices in three newspapers of Dodi's father's choice. It's pretty much a de facto way of saying "Yes, these assclowns were being assclowns the night Di and Dodi died."
Honestly, three Euros and a couple of newspaper ads can't make up for what was lost that night in 1997: The most beloved Royal in history. (Link)
