treyvon martin case, settlement with the HOA

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/0...?ncid=webmail2

WTF...they get over $1 million? and the actual case against zimmerman hasn't started? they don't even know if Martin was the attacker or not....If I lived there in that HOA I would be beyond fucking pissed.

It was probably settled by the HOAs insurance and not any of the board or their lawyers. They probably didn't have any real say in the decision.

Maybe pay 1 million pretrial prior to the guilty verdict and have to pay out 5 million.

What do you expect when POTUS sympathizes with thugs?

and endorses them before a court of law can have the final say...

Am I the only one who feels that there is virtually no reason to respect the rule of law anymore? I feel like a sucker for not being a crook, liar & a cheat?

I think a lot of honest people feel that way these days.

Guilty verdict =/= civil liability.

The HOA is making a bet. They bet they can get off more cheaply for $1m now than wait for the criminal trial. They're probably right. The alternative rings up a lot of litigation costs before they come to a settlement.
