@MirkoS77: @comp_atkins: I find your responses to certainly be sound convincing enough.
I have not made myself clear through my previous post. I should clarify.
I may not like it at all, BUT if the parents sue and the court finds Alex liable. Then the courts ruled should indeed be honored.
However, these courts have used his guilty verdict as discreation to heep hundreds of millions of dollars in punitive damges onto Alex . Why ? This was done purposfully b/c the punitive damages cannot be discharged by bankruptcy. Meanwhile, it was the Pain & Suffering damages that these courts kept at a reasonable number.
Why ? B/C Pain and Suffering damages CAN be discharged by bankruptcy.
This is PART of my frustration. His being found guilty may indeed have been his own fault. But with his conviction in hand, then all manner of anger towards him was unleashed.
Yes, there were political motovations
Yes, there was a desire for revenge that the courts felt they had an UNLIMITED mandate to execute upon AJ.
An since you think the Criminal Justice system making these decsions to be perfectly fine; if I have a controversial radio show, but I ran everything I said by a lawyer. If I get sued can my defense be that the lawyer said it was ok ?
