Very funny, considering. But I’m interested in the concept of “emergency divorce”. Never heard tell of one of those! Oh, and I vote for letting Rader’s wife keep the money from the house. Money can’t help the victims now, and that woman’s life is seriously damaged now…she’s a victim, too. ---

That measly amount of money means nothing to the victims or their families. The public defenders - maybe the county should recoup some of those expenses. But I agree with **kittenblue** , that woman is as much a victim as anyone, and she should get the money from the sale. ---

The Goldmans got millions from that- they filed that lawsuit for the sole purpose (the only thing they could get) of getting moolah. Cash. Green. They deserved it. Nothing, as you say, can alleviate the pain of losing a loved one, but losing a loved one doesn’t make us living stop wanting money. ---

I didn’t even know what we were talking about exactly. Were talking about the _wife_ getting the money from the house, not the families of the victims. ---
