No, I haven't lost a child. Juries award millions of dollars to the parents of accident victims all the time and certainly Edwards secured this sort of "compensation" for similarly grieving parents before. He wouldn't be able to secure himself any compensation by bringing The Wind to trial...is all I'm saying.
Personally, I have a problem with "pain and suffering" awards. The courts put a price tag on human life....someone get's a million bucks for the loss of their loved one; someone else with a slicker lawyer and a deeper pocket gets $23 million; in another case, the value of life is dirt cheap (just look at abortion). Where's the justice in any of this?
