Malpractice lawsuit with deadly consequences

So now in Illinois, apparently, if a doctor takes a tumor off your jaw
and you don't like how the scar looks, you sue the doctor, and when the
judge rules in the doctor's favor, you kill the judge's husband and
mother. This was apparently the motivation for the murder of Judge
Lefkow's family, anyway, according to the suicide note left by the
killer. Very sad case. Will this be an incentive to keep frivolous
suits out of the courtroom in the first place?
