Because the criminal and civil systems are separate?
Also, the fact that the families were drawn through this super painful and very, very public court hearing.
I'm not intimately familiar with the civil case. I'll ask a lawyer friend and get back to you
Edit: OK, he was found liable for wrongful death.. "it means that is 50%+ that he was a cause of the wrongful death of nicole and her boy toy. So he needs to pay up."
Anyway, it seems to me that the real culprits in this case are the LAPD. They bungled the criminal investigation very, very badly.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
