Paying off (to get off) murder

Two brothers and a friend burned their driver to death. The case is in the courts:
The next hearing in the case was postponed until October 5 in order for the families of the accused to attempt to resolve the case by offering blood money to the victim’s family.
If they offer enough blood money they'll only face a maximum of five years.

  1. And on topic, that'd be an interesting way to handle things here. Real death panels could decide if the person really was enough of an ass to deserve death and then would decide how much the survivors deserved in compensation. So much for prison overcrowding!
