Very witty.
I'm sure the murdered lad's family would be delighted to see the case discussed in this way.

There was a big case a few years back where a farmer shot and killed a young boy and wounded another who had broke into his house with a group of youths
He was tried for murder, later reduced to manslaughter and paroled and released following an appeal. The family of the deceased then tried to sue Tony Martin. they even put a bounty on his head.
"Compensation claim[edit]
During 2003, Fearon applied for, and received, an estimated £5,000 of legal aid to sue Martin for loss of earnings due to the injuries he had sustained.[22] However, the case was thrown into doubt when photographs were published in The Sun, showing him "cycling and climbing with little apparent difficulty" suggesting that Fearon's injuries were not as serious as had been claimed.[23] While the case was pending, Fearon was recalled to jail after being charged with the theft of a vehicle while on probation on a conviction for dealing heroin.[24] Fearon later dropped the case when Martin agreed to drop a counter-claim. Tens of thousands of pounds of public money had been spent on the case.[25]
Nick Makin, Martin's solicitor, said: "It is appalling that the family of someone who has a criminal record for burglary and assault should attempt to claim any damages of criminal injury when he was shot while burgling the dwelling of an innocent person... It is also appalling that they may get legal aid while his victim is in prison and patently unable to work and equally cannot get legal aid... There is something wrong and perverse with our legal system that it permits this."[12]"
was it use of excessive force?? Sure! But someone who breaks into your property should have no rights what-so-ever.During 2003, Fearon applied for, and received, an estimated £5,000 of legal aid to sue Martin for loss of earnings due to the injuries he had sustained.[22] However, the case was thrown into doubt when photographs were published in The Sun, showing him "cycling and climbing with little apparent difficulty" suggesting that Fearon's injuries were not as serious as had been claimed.[23] While the case was pending, Fearon was recalled to jail after being charged with the theft of a vehicle while on probation on a conviction for dealing heroin.[24] Fearon later dropped the case when Martin agreed to drop a counter-claim.

No, they did not. Do you get your facts from The Daily Mail?

Nope, it says a cousin of Farras's claimed there was a bounty. That doesn't mean there was one.

a bounty is still a bounty unless you took the job?

One minute they're thieving traveler burglars, the next minute the same family are completely reliable with their not at all made-up stories about bounties with zero evidence.

There's no right or wrong, it simply depends on who you believe.
Klass claims something was said, the police claim it was not.
We have no means of deciding who is telling the truth, other than making a value judgment on each party.

No she does not, she didn't claim anything.
