Why do you care what settlements are agreed to. All the victims in these cases have been paid off by the CVCC, and Hawaii takes great pride in paying for testimony to convict someone. Therefore, if an Inmate does the suffering, then it's the Inmates money. These victims were already compensated for their alleged suffering. You need to get off that soap box, mind your own business, and get a life. Why don't we have CCA and DPS pay the costs that you have deemed to be for the victims, and still settle up with the Inmates. Most people will only be the victim for one criminal case, why should they keep collecting everything an Inmate gets something, that's like punishing an Inmate multiple times for the same crime. I really don't see a victim being compensated, and an Inmate has to come out of pocket everything a victim is mention. Let those victims move on, and if their dead how is that money going to benefit them or their families. It's not like they go and buy a new loved one at Walmart
