Is this an admission that they have a problem ?
It's tough to put a dollar amount on a life, but is this adequate ?
Court economists estimate these payouts by looking at victims' employment trends, adjusting for the number of years lived (average years lived in X demographic) and assume the victim would've seen wages increase by X over that time span.
This might be the only relevant time to mention Grey's track record.
Do you think he would've made 6.4 million if he wasn't killed? Hell no.
