well, the perpetrator is getting jail time. i am not sure of exactly what he expected from setting up the accident. did he truly mean to kill someone or just total the truck? i think he got the right time for his part. i think that fraud costs and it should cost since she knew and confessed. she should be serving time. the son - well, he's old enough to understand right and wrong. again, it was fraud. something, i don't think that may or may not have been brought up is that the driver is responsible for checking his vehicle prior to driving the vehicle for the day. granted he might not be able to view the brakes themselves, but he should have tested them prior to departing. a pre-trip inspection of trucks is required. granted we might not know since he's dead. the tragedy - is the lives that were lost. equipment can always get replaced.
