If it had read:
"Damn... I had been planning to kill someone, I had done it before successfully and was let go cause I squeled on fellow killers. This time I didn't think they would catch me and I had my long knife sharpened and ready, but I got caught again. Do I have to pay damages to his family now? Even though I killed their other son and didn't have to pay for it last time? ;p"
I think the answer should be:
No, you should just go to jail for the rest of your life.
For this guy, I think the fine is just a slap on the wrist anyway.

I am no expert in law or the legalese language, but what was this supposed to mean?
<quote from the article>
"U.S. District Judge James Moody ordered the restitution Wednesday, based on a formula of how much Frazier's intended victims, Direct TV and Echostar, would have lost if his scheme had succeeded. The television companies estimate they could have lost $900 million in business."
<end quote>
As I read it, that amount does not seem to be a fine but damages to be payed to the would-be victims if the scheme succeded. Isn't it so? Did it mean that it was only a fine which was calculated based on the possible future damages?
Damages for the "murder of the other brother" do not seem to have been taken into account.
