Gary and Janet Benoit accomplished something truly remarkable last week, both on behalf of their slain daughter, Katy, and young women who follow her at the University of Idaho. The Benoits closed the books on their $3 million tort claim against the UI. And unlike so many high-profile lawsuits, this one did not contain a nondisclosure clause. You know how much the Benoits are accepting - $375,000. You know the source - $25,000 from the university and $350,000 from the state Office of Risk Management. And you know how it's being allocated - a memorial fund in Katy Benoit's name to benefit several charities. None of it is going to the plaintiffs. Even the most jaded observer of the legal system can't avoid being impressed. It's common to hear plaintiffs talk about taking a big institution to task on a matter of principle, but all too rare to see someone actually follow through/Marty Trillhaase, Lewiston Tribune.

Question: What do you make of the Benoits' decision to give away settlement money from lawsuit involving the murder of their daughter at the University of Idaho?
