Interesting case. What do you think he should do with the money? On one hand, psychological damage from rape can last all life, so it wouldn't be entirely unappropriate for him to compensate his victims, even if it is 20 years after said crimes. On the other, he sat out most of a life-sentence already. It just isn't right to go after him because he got lucky and just happens to be a criminal. And after all, he did pay his lottery ticket like anyone else...

thoughts?
