Doesn’t the D of Justus have immunity?
I suspect the Department of Justice actually wanted to give the church a whole lot more than $88 million. Out of guilt and for the purposes of social justice.

I hear a big cha-ching coming for every crime vic in the country now. Way to go Biden DOJ.
do the multiple white victims attacked daily and killed in this country ever get these huge settlements?
Upon learning this the lawyer for the family of one of the victims announced that he was gonna sue Shell Oil (ya,*that* Shell Oil) because they were one of the sponsors of the band's tour.
Looking at that case...and this one...and others...it blows my mind to know that lawyers haven't a clue as to why they're as hated as they are.
Better give them an additional $25 million each to compensate for historical black farm discrimination… whatever that is. Makes no difference if they are actually farmers.
This is really interesting - it kind of follows the model that was used to attack the nuclear power industry. Let me explain - there is a “market” of sorts that determine the settlement value of liability cases. If defendants start making big payouts for a certain type of case, more of those types of cases will be filed because of the speculative settlement value. The more cases filed, the greater the burden on the targeted industry. Nuclear power plant siting was hit with every manner of litigation imaginable, so much so that the business of building them became not viable.
