You're confused. We're talking about monetary compensation to another party (damages) in a civil court, not a criminal murder case.
This may save some embarrassment in the future: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/60793/civil_criminal_court_cases_the_differences.html http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/60793/civil_crimina...
- seertaak 17y agoSorry, it is indeed you who is confused. My point is that the law treats all individuals equally. Your link was interesting, but nowhere therein did I see any mention of this basic tenet changing when we move from a criminal to a civil case. Justice is portrayed as a blind person for a reason; and it doesn't matter an iota if you're talking about civil or criminal law. And, in any case, the comment I was replying to used the example of car theft, which manifestly would involve a criminal case. My analogy is perfectly valid; it is you who ought be emabarrassed!
