"It seems that the civil case against the killers (and their parents) is now over. The case never went to court, because Skylar's parents accepted an offer from the girls' legal teams; they seem to have settled for 5 million dollars. While that sounds like a lot of money, it's not very likely the Neeses are ever gonna get paid:
"Dave Neese said they understand the figure is just a number on a piece of paper and the case was never about money. It is to prevent the two killers from making any money related to the death — such as from from books or television appearances — if they are released."
What this seems to mean is that any money Shelia and Rachel might make off selling their story would go toward paying the settlement. A settlement of this kind might also be considered "nondischargeable" in that declaring a bankruptcy would not wipe out the debt; they'd be stuck with it until it's been paid in full (along with interest). By the way, West Virginia already has a "Son of Sam" law (these laws prevent criminals from benefiting from their crimes) in effect, but the law has not been tested in court yet and may be unconstitutional. A settlement of this kind might get around that."
