Just read an article about the wrongful death lawsuit filed by Jimmy Blevins' family against Freddie Hammer, and it really got me thinking about the impact of civil cases in this kind of tragedy. While no amount of money can ever compensate for the loss they’ve suffered, the $14.9 million judgment seems to be more about ensuring Freddie Hammer doesn’t get a dime from exploiting his crimes. It’s a small measure of justice, but I bet it’s also a powerful statement for the family, maybe providing some sense of control and closure. Hammer’s past is horrifying, and knowing that he can't profit from it feels like the right step, though I'm sure it's a long, painful road for Blevins' loved ones. What do you all think? Do these civil judgments help families in some way even if the perpetrator can’t pay?
