we're not in the 1700's anymore, noone deserves to die just because they have stolen something. that settlement amount sounds like a lot, but i can guarntee you that family would rather have their son than the money. i lost my 20 y/o sister a few yrs ago and since then my father has gone crazy and my mother has aged more than anyone can imagine. i'm not at all asking for sympathy, this isn't about me. i'm just saying that that money will never replace the son that was murdered! peyton was murdered and years were taken off of his parents' lives. there's no amount of money that can reconcile his death!
