The NY Post reports: The father of the Brooklyn boy who was slain and butchered after he got lost walking home from day camp is demanding a nine-figure damages award from the child’s killer, according to a lawsuit made public today.
Calling the murder of 8-year-old Leiby Kletzky “one of the most horrific crimes in the history of the County of Kings,” Nachman Kletzky is asking for $100 million in punitive damages along with unspecified compensatory damages from Levi Aron, who is charged with Leiby’s murder, the suit says.
“The defendant’s culpable acts … were utterly reckless, malicious, wanton, willful and exhibited a depraved indifference to the health, safety, freedom and rights … of Leiby Kletzky,” the suit says.
Aron admitted to abducting Leiby on July 11 after the child became disoriented walking home alone from day camp for the first time.
Cops said he later confessed to the murder.
Aron’s defense lawyers in the criminal action have indicated they will pursue an insanity defense.

Where, exactly, do they imagine the killer is hiding his fortune? Whose brilliant idea was this?
Who has the money to cough up? It is well deserved for the Kletsky family, yet where is this money available from?
It sounds like there might be somebody manipulating here
Will $100 million bring back Leiby?

How is 100 million dollars going to help with th nature of the murder?
I doubt this guy had any real money.
A barbaric, meshunidig murder has nothing to do with suing for money.
This is to beat the butcher to the punch in case he gets a book deal in the future. This will make sure that he doesn’t see a penny from his earnings.
Think of OJ simpson. He was aqutted of murder, although he definetely did it, but was couldn’t escape the civil right charge. They may attempt the insanity defense on murder, but they’ll get him on this one.
Our society needs very strong deterents forr thi type of behavior. Even an animal understands to stay away from fire. How much ore so a human – even a deranged human scum
OJ had a jury of “peers” willing to excuse anything he did. This guy won’t be so lucky.
i am still horrified by the murder
Levi Iron doesn’t have $3 to his name. What are we missing?
Obviously there is a cheshbon here. I’m sure his lawyers know what their doing. Nu, haliviy he should win the money. It should pay for tuition for at least a year in a half (depends which Yeshiva)!
my basement flooded
its not to get money. Its probably to prove a point, that he was working and therefore had some level of societal functioning. They should get whatever he has, since he will never get out of there anyway, with whatever the decision is.
HaShem yerachem. it should just be EMES.
THIS ANIMAL WILL LIKELY MAKE LOTS OF MONEY OF THE SICK MEDIA WHO WILL PAY FOR INTERVIEWS WITH HIM, BOOK DEALS… MOVIE RIGHTS ETC… THIS WILL MAKE SURE THAT HE DOESN’T BENEFIT FROM ANY OF IT THERE WILL BE A LIEN ON HIS EARNINGS!!

What does Lipa’s concert at Oorah have to do with your post?

I wish the Kletsky family Hashem’s help in whatever they undertake.
To those claiming the lawsuit is to prevent Aron from profiting from interviews, possible book or movie deals, etc. – New York already law prohibits killers from obtaining such profits:

I totally think that the kletsky family is doing the smartest thing ever!
Where is the money going to come from???

Mr. 21 You don’t know what the son of sam law is read up on it and you should then understand what this will accomplish
