The man in question got off lightly as you say cause at the time my cousin, who had the final say in pushing it into court, was mostly seeking financial help to pay the bills for her sister's care.
At the time she didn't have a support back up team to help in this, other than the case-worker. The Family representatives who met with my cousin begged her to please not bring it to court because of the negative ramifications it would have on the group. My cousin asked them about the justice for her sister, and they told her basically it was better that one suffer than that the whole group be put into a negative light.
The times I have talked with my cousin about this she has said that she wishes she knew more and had more strength to push it to court and to not have settled out of court. Perhaps if it had happened a couple of years ago vs. several years ago she would have made different choices.
