I'll say this much --- at least this guy has money, and insurance. I'm sure there are plenty of cases where a family loses a loved one to a drunk driving moron and ends up getting very little to nothing in the way of compensation for their loss. I'm sure most families would rather have their dad/husband/brother etc back instead of money, but it's probably not the receiving a pile of cash that's the focus but more about penalizing further the person who did it.

Of course they'd rather have him back....but if he was the breadwinner, then I'm sure he'd rather see that his kids are taken care of financially than see the other guy who was just was wrong as he was do 15 years of hard time.
It's just funny to watch the mob get all riled up and try to make things black and white when they're actually very complex and nuanced.
In this case "oh the fix is in, he's a pro athlete, he bought his way out of it".
Kind of like the AIG bonuses. Another very complex issue, and the mob was all like "they're getting bonuses? that's our monies mother fucker!!!"
What're ya gonna do?
