Though the now-adult victims of this massive scandal are not likely to see even a small fraction of the huge damages awarded, a lawyer for them said that the award was recognition by the federal judge of just how major the crimes committed by the former judges really were.

“To have an order from a federal court that recognizes the gravity of what the judges did to these children in the midst of some of the most critical years of their childhood and development matters enormously, whether or not the money gets paid,” she added.

I cant imagine being happy with just that. Those judges belong in prison with a lengthy sentence. This isnt justice, its a retraction.
