British Justice

[Cymru am byth]

Garri Holness, 39, is one of the Britons in a bad place at the time of the July 2005 subway bombings, and he suffered the loss of a leg, for which government programs compensated him with more than 100,000 British pounds (about $190,000). That is more than 10 times the amount of government compensation (in 2005 pounds) received by each of the two teenage girls from a vicious 1985 gang rape that Holness was convicted of participating in (and for which he served seven years in prison).

Can't victims of crimes Sue the perpetrator in the UK's civil courts for losses, mental anguish, etc?
They do that all of the time here.
Sometimes the criminal knows that he will never be able to make a living after he serves his time because of the settlement figures that civil juries award.
They also attach all future earnings, settlements, 100% of movie/book deals, etc...

There is the criminal injuries board, the ones that paid the girls compensation originally. Not sure about the civil courts, i don't know if you can get legal aid for that or what. i know when Micheal Barrymore was not found to have killed the guy found floating in his pool, the guys family went to the civil courts but i don't know the outcome.

One of the most famous cases from the states that you would be familiar with would be the Nicole Simpson/Ron Goldman murder by OJ Simpson.
Even though he was found "Not Guilty" in Criminal Court, the Civil Court awarded the Goldman family $33.5 Million Dollars.
Of course, he has not paid much of it, claiming he doesn't know how to and can't live off of less than $210,000.00/year. He was even forced to sell his Heisman Trophy.
