How do you know that the sentence didn't "communicate" to them. Two college boys with no previous criinal history. Now they have criminal convictions on their records, did ten days in jail, community service, are on probation for a year, and have to pay a monthly probation supervision fee.

First of all, it is up to the judge to decide whether the sentence is just. Further, it is a gross abuse of the civil justice system for her to file suit just because SHE is not satisfied with the sentence. You are deluded if you think this is about justice. Her attorney doesn't care about justice. They both want the money.

Do you really think these kids will have to pay her money? Again, you have no idea what you speak of. Lawyers go after deep pockets like the national fraternity. The kids have nothing worth levying. Without question, the attorney intends to go after the faternity and the parents' homeowners insurance coverage. Shame on him! He knows full well that parents in FL are not responsible for the torts of their children. But he'll file suit anyway and hopes to cost the insurers enough time, trouble and expense that the insurers will eventually pay something.
