Legal compensation for victims' families based on the way the victim died. If he falls in a hole at a construction site, that's one price. If a doctor screws up, it's another price. If a plane crashes, it's another price. If he's murdered by OJ, it's another price. Nobody takes into account the net present value of that person's income. It's possible that the family of a dead migrant worker can get multiples from a medication mistake than a CEO in a plane crash. What is the logic in that?
That is one up on another incident in Vietnam. A bomber hit a village in error and killed or messed up most of the people. The CIA were running around with $50 bills... $50 if your leg/s were gone.. $100 if your family were wiped...

There ain't no logic!
