She may ever see that money and I understand she needs some income since her husband is ill, but that's a whole lot of money considering she was never actually arrested.
I also agree that she may have benefitted from white privilege. At the time, nobody had any idea who planted the drugs. They originally thought it was the crazy guy across the street, who was Asian.

She needed the money. Her husband had leukemia and was out of work, and the Easters had not paid a penny of the civil judgment.

Fixed.
Have you read the story? Both parties are white. One (the criminal) is much richer than the other. It has nothing to do with race.
+1.
There's obviously some racist die-hards still around us

I think it's incredibly telling that the school stuck by the PTA volunteer not only through the first interaction when the boy was locked out but also through the legal mess that ensued. Shows either they knew these parents were nutso, they knew the PTA woman was innocent, or (more likely) a big combo of both.
