People will eventually become cynical, and stop contributing after they realize there are two sides to each story. I find often that the sob stories you read on the internet exaggerate the tragedy of the situation.

That's why it's important to set up the Kickstarter now, so you can rake in your share of the bonanza before the world wises up :-D

Just make users sign something that says the story they put forward is accurate. Details should come out in the trial, and if there's a mismatch, asking for money based on false information is fraud.
