Whether or not hes 'paying enough' is really a vexed issue and one which its probably best not to make a judgement on unless you are in possession of all of the facts.
You are sure he wanted the field flattened? What makes you say that?
Thats a pretty bold statement.
I get a little edgy about this kind of thing. The mentality of it unnerves me. Judgements being made by people based upon an emotional response or an inadequate comparison, whilst understandable in one sense, are no replacement for an analysis of the situation within a court of law.
This man accepted responsibility, has gone through a legal process and has received his penalty. If somebody thinks it's 'not enough', fine, but they need to be basing any argument on facts, or if they are not available, at least a solid comparison with the facts they are aware of, as some sort of starting point.
