I don't disagree with your views. I am just saying that the entire system is rotten. The victim has been awarded $1 million as compensation, and in the end she is going to get around 2% of that amount. This is just ridiculous and unjust.

She just got out of rehab. I honestly wish good for her, since she had a very rough start in life and got sabotaged and misdirected by a lot of people, but fresh out of rehab with a pocket full of cash... If the city wanted to help her they would have offered her the cash as college tuition, a vertical job in some agency, etc. The money is just so she won't say too much more to the media...

$16,000 may last for 6-7 months, given the high rents and other living costs. What she will do after that? Returning to the old profession? OK... leave that. But what about the payment to the lawyer, which was made at the expense of the tax payers?

Such lawyers is an expensive prostitute. For what he brought her the dubious pleasure of winning in the trial he took the whole payment. It is not correct. I think she should file another lawsuit for a compensation of the services of a lawyer and to never use the services of such attorneys.
