[@kingkem_113]

I want to break this down as someone who is in legal field and going to law school. The reason why she received $29 million dollars is because the government bases the payment off of how much that person is worth. I know that sounds really really bad, but there are certain laws and policies in place when a person is violated, or wrongfully terminated/killed. The families only receive what that person actually was worth that can be measured in merchandise, popularity, in society. Etc.. I’m only telling everyone this, because this is actually an issue that should be addressed, and people should not be paid based off of their worth, or their value people should be paid based off of the crime, and how wrongful it was. This will explain why prisoners who are wrongfully charged and released are only paid $175. This is also the reason why the other seven people who died in the helicopter crash did not receive any funds or money at all. They probably weren’t worth that much in the eyes of society or the government. I hope this helped a little bit
