You just watched your only daughter and her fiancé die in a horrible crash that almost hit you and your wife.

The drunk driver is also dead.

You watch on the news the driver drink 8 shots and a chaser in 23 mins.

What do you do?

RE: "You just watched your only daughter .....What do you do?" - Personally I would be too devastated to do anything, but obviously these people instantly thought "Oh dear, are daughter is dead, but on the bright side we can make a few dollars out of this."

yeah that's right, they watched their daughter die in front of them and the first thought to come to their mind was how much they was going to make.

Last I heard on this story (about a year and half ago) the only thing they did besides give Purdue University a scholarship in their daughters name was bury her, the news even had stories on this that no lawsuit against the bartender or the bar was ever filed. (Up to that time)

So yeah, money was the motivator there.
