The really sad deal out of all of this, his parents will be paid out. It's cheaper for the insurance company (and you can bet that Stewart is all kinds of insured) to pay out rather than go to trial. Not to mention, consider the jury pool and the winners that typically end up on the jury sitting there listening to the parents crying about losing their little angel and how they are devastated and don't know how they're going to be able to go on... then Stewart's attorneys get up and start attacking the character of the deceased and bring in toxicology reports to further kick dirt on his grave. Not a really easy way to go down that road without creating sympathy for the parents, who are now the victims of this monster Tony Stewart. Rest assured every video snippet of him on the track being a hot head will be played over and over for the jury.

I can only imagine how many attorneys were in touch with the parents to get them signed on for representation within minutes of the news breaking. Sad really.
