I read an article recently about an air force member who killed a pedestrian crossing the street when he hit the member's car. The person was found not-at-fault, but he cycled into a deep depression. He bought a handgun and killed himself. This person couldn't live with the guilt. Would people consider that "justice"?
My opinion: This person, if he has any humanity, will be living with guilt for the rest of his life. I don't think forcing him to give up money, even if it's for a memorial, will pull that guilt in a constructive direction, and will probably just turn it into anger. I hope you talk your family out of this.
