I think it's right that when someone has actually been killed the pros and cons of the case are examined in a court. So I'm glad that was done by the grand jury. It seems perverse that the widow should think she have any chance in an additional suit - are the standards of proof so different? Because that strikes me as wrong in itself. There is also the issue of double jeopardy, which is a very important principle that this comes close to breaking.
