<p>[Love's</a> mother sues Huguely for $30 million | Daily Progress](<a href=“http://www2.dailyprogress.com/news/2012/apr/26/loves-mother-sues-huguely-30-million-ar-1871772/]Love’s”>http://www2.dailyprogress.com/news/2012/apr/26/loves-mother-sues-huguely-30-million-ar-1871772/)</p>

<p>The guys in jail… Where’s he gonna get 30 million?</p>

3

<p>Trust fund or money he inherited?</p>

4

<p>Future earnings ;-)</p>

5

<p>Book and movie deal.</p>

6

<p>Where is the satisfaction in such lawsuits ?</p>

7

<p>So her daughter’s murderer does not financially benefit from her death when he gets out of prison.</p>

8

<p>I don’t think there is any satisfaction, but it could ensure that Huguely doesn’t ever make any money from his story.</p>

9

<p>New York has a law that provides that when someone is convicted of a crime, he can’t get $ from interviews/writing a book,etc. Doesn’t Va have such a law?</p>

<p>George is over 21. He might have a trust fund, in which case suing him might be well worth while.</p>

10

<p>Yep…looks like they’re suing in case of a trust fund money or similar. The grandpa was a billionaire, I think. </p>

<p>I don’t blame them for suing. Why should this kid live in the lap of luxury once he gets out?</p>

11

<p>I can see not wanting him to profit off of this in any way or not wanting him to live in luxury ( how long is his sentance any way ? has this gone to court yet). But I certaintly would not want any of that money for myself to use at all.</p>

12

<p>The money obtained from the suit could be used as the people awarded and recovering it see fit. They could establish a foundation, donate to domestic violence organizations, create a scholarship, all sorts of things. I would also not want this beast to have any assets to draw from that the family of the deceased could use in any way.</p>

13

<p>The New York Son of Sam law, and others similar to it, have huge Constitutional issues…the First Amendment Free Speech rights are violated. So families go to court to prevent criminals from profiting from their crimes. As HImom mentions, the money can go to foundations, scholarships, etc.</p>

14

<p>I don’t get it. It says, “failed to use ordinary care, leading to an accident for which he was responsible that resulted in the injuries and death of Love,” </p>

<p>Failed to use ordinary care? A bit of an understatement, don’t you think? Was that where the defense was going in his trial?</p>

15

<p>Probably a lower standard to prove liability for wrongful death. Makes case easier to win.</p>
