Just after the decision was announced, the victim's lawyers seemed to put out a statement decrying the decision since the victims are not going to be paid (soon?). Is this overzealousness on the part of the lawyers themselves wanting to get paid? Does any law person have a comment on the situation?

Manslaughter maybe, but not murder. They didn't want to kill people using their drugs. That wouldn't make any sense.

Also, I'd be careful about saying the judge (Robert Drain) is corrupt unless you can back that up with facts. You might be opening yourself up to a libel suit.
