It really depends on which lens you are viewing the situation from. From the public's perspective, yeah, it's pretty awful that such a vile person wouldn't have to go to jail for his or her crimes. However, from the victim's perspective, I can totally understand how it'd be easier to move forward with 32 million dollars than it would be with 0 dollars and some guy you'll never see or hear from again in prison. Not everyone shares that opinion; some may say "fuck the money I want to see you in jail on principle", but there is definitely some value in letting the victim decide which outcome is going to emotionally benefit them more.

fox news really picking up the torch of truth and in these troubled times. never thought i'd say that, but it's undeniable at this point. good for bill. he's sending his best. good hombre

dude ill take a few brutal rapes for 32m, complete with anal perforation and broken bones, hell hack an arm off and use it to fist me while you're at it. Cannibalize my ass cheeks, take some thigh fillet too. Throw some dental torture into the mix to boot.

like maybe im in the minority here but i don't see wtf happened to her that's so bad that it warrants that big of a settlement but it's a lot better than punishing him for it for everyone involved so what's the problem?

Yeah that was me.. 32 mil removes all doubt.

It means rich people can pay off their crimes. Fuck that. A judge ruling can still award damages and a prison sentence.

i dont really see the issue
the more rich people there are out there committing crimes
the more likely i am to win the lottery in that regard

i mean when it comes to a victim based crime it's not really your place to call for justice if the wronged person is happy with the outcome. This is worse then bystanders getting offended on behalf of other people when friends of different races use slurs on eachother. You can wait til you get 'sexually assaulted' by a billionaire to play that card. 99.9% sure you won't though. You'll take the cash and be happier than a pig in shit despite justice 'not being served'

The judicial system isn't just there to please people. It's there to create a system of rules that should apply to anyone, not just you.

This is why I'm so happy that we have civil and not common law.

im sorry but you cant have a victim based crime without a victim
if someone doesn't feel like a victim,
they shouldn't be used as one for a prosecution.

And if you do, the victim will deny it happened. Where do you go from there as the prosecution? The case is closed. That's how it is. There's nothing wrong with it. It was resolved.
