What's the difference between this and the payoffs the US justice department gets paid for various "no fault" cases?

$99m would be paid to the German treasury and a further $1m to a German children's hospice charity

Should be the other way around

Logically then, all defendents should be offered a cash alternative to a trial?

I saw that on the BBC site.

I don't see how it's anything other than state sanctioned bribery allowing you to buy (bribe) your way out of the case. Ok it will sting a tiny bit, but compared to his fortune it's chicken feed.

The guy he bribed gets 8 years, he pays what to him is pocket change, justice?
