What is the price to pay for taking the life of a 'bottom of his class'
young man? Who determines the value of a life? Who determines the
potential of that life.


Potential lifetime earnings.


Life is always precious and as sad as it may sound but the life of a
doctor is worth more to the jury than the life of someone who dropped
out of high school.


Bill Gates, a college dropout.

The CEO's of many of the Fortune 500 companies never graduated from
college, yet they earn more than just about every doctor on the face of
the earth.

The ability to earn is not based upon your ability to lean it is based
upon your ability to actually do a job and get paid for that job.


There are always exceptions to the rule.

You want to argue about this for some reason. I am just telling you
how juries compute the price of a life.

Now go try to pick a fight with someone else.
