[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious -- why hasn't the Braylon's mother sued the parents of the killer? Seems like a good civil case, and there's been lots of reference to how the killer's parents are wealthy, so that means they should be able to afford a judgment against them.

But in any event, if Josh would have handled the situation the same way (or even more leniently, based on what his website says), then I fail to understand how it's a campaign issue.[/quote]
Tough case to win unless they can show the parents let him drive drunk.  That said, they could certainly secure a judgment against the driver and collect in the future.  Adding the parents to the lawsuit would be a legitimate way to publicly out the family, if nothing else.[/quote]

Everyone would call the Meades money-grubbers since they are already financially comfortable. Most local families already know the perp’s identity.[/quote]

I certainly wouldn't call them that if they decided to sue. Rich people sue other people all the time; many people on this board are law firm lawyers who represent them and get paid big bucks to do it. Lawsuits are about accountability. I would view a civil lawsuit much more favorably than the politicization of the death by the Katcher campaign.[/quote]
