the Orange County Board of Supervisors agreed to pay $3.75 million, plus an additional $900,000 in medical expenses to an illegal alien who was severely beaten by other inmates in the Orange County Central Jail. The Mexican national filed a lawsuit shortly after the incident.
Fernando Ramirez, 24, was in jail after being charged with molesting a 6-year-old girl at a local park. He eventually pled guilty to the lesser charge of battery against a child.

There is an unwritten rule in prison to beat child molesters. Most of those monsters, however evil they are, understand the innocents of a child.

I'm sorry, but in this case, I think the payment owed to the guy is justifiable.

So you are telling me that if this were YOUR DAUGHTER that was MOLESTED, and the guy got beat in jail, you would have NO PROBLEM with that molester of YOUR DAUGHTER receiving 4 million dollars stemming from the act of molesting YOUR DAUGHTER ?

If this guy was not an illegal, but was a US citizen child molester, we wouldn't even have this as news.

Inmates in prisons are regularly beaten and killed. Unless there is a lawsuit that accompanies each one I don't know why this particular man was able to be awarded compensation.
what good is $4M if u never make it
out of prison to spend it?
I had a look at the article. I'm sorry, but in this case, I think the payment owed to the guy is justifiable.

He should thank his fellow prisoners, in a Mexican prison, he'd be dead rather than beaten, and the guards would have watched.

Honestly, I don't have a problem with it. I really try to make myself feel something. I can't.
I simply can't feel mercy for those whom act in such a disgusting manner. Rape is worse than murder in so many ways.
