AshB posted:Didn't get any cash? That's just flat-out untrue. Yes the university paid the settlement, as it should have. The university was vicariously liable for Pike's actions. Forcing it to pay the heavy damages is punitive enough to encourage the university to improve its policies. This is how lawsuits work. Do you have an article where the details of the settlement are in the past, not future, tense? Good news if it actually went through.

ColdPie posted:This is already the case. In fact, getting arrested for that is a pretty good way to get a ton of free money. Her lawyer most likely took the lions share of that 57k, but even without you have to remember this was an ongoing court case since the arrest in 2010. Not a lot of people can front the legal fees and four years worth of time taken for court appearances in a hobby lawsuit that wasn't assured to win a dime, and 57k is a pretty lovely return on that sort of investment if you have money to spend and no life to attend to. So no, it's not a good way to get 'a ton' of 'free money', it's a good way to waste four years without assurance of your money or time being reimbursed.
