You want to preserve some incentive for the plaintiff's counsel to seek them, and one dollar out of four should do it.
And Arnold's not concerned about victims' compensation. He's got a budget to balance, and this year's gimmicks only take you so far.
I'm not smart enough to understand Atticus's concern, as is so often the case.
