- Wilson's parents filed the lawsuit seeking over $1 million in relief, resulting in a $15 million judgment.
- Armstrong failed to appear at the court hearing or respond to the lawsuit, leading to a default judgment.
- The $15 million includes $5 million to each of Wilson's parents and $5 million in exemplary damages.
- Armstrong is serving a 90-year prison sentence for the 2022 murder, with parole eligibility after 30 years.
- The lawsuit aims to prevent Armstrong from profiting from her crime through media deals.
