I wonder how they came up with the monetary value of 75K ? I think a person's life is a worth a little more than that. Do you think the family will win the trial ? I do, I'm sure 75k is worth shutting them up there will be probably be a clause in the settlement that prevents them from speaking about the case anymore.
