I guess their idea of justice was focused more on dollars and cents than jail time.

I don't want to judge the family or try to diminish their love for this man. But IMO it's totally valid to judge their motives. I'm sure the attorney working the case was pretty darn influential on that matter as well. He likely sold them on the idea that they could make a boatload of cash (of which he'd get a nice %), and how that was the best course of action.

Anyway, I don't necessarily agree with it, but it's not awful either.

You mean to question their motives? I find it hard to judge them without knowing the full story. I find it best not to judge anyway. They have their reasons I'm sure and nothing is going to bring him back. Tragic accident.
