Supposedly that judgement is still in place, just reading up on it.

Sgt. Layne Morris and Sgt. Speer's widow Tabitha, both represented by Donald Winder,[165] filed a civil suit against the estate of Ahmed Khadr, claiming that the father's failure to control his son resulted in the loss of Speer's life and Morris's right eye. Since United States law does not allow civil lawsuits against "acts of war", Speer and Morris relied on the argument that Khadr's throwing the grenade was an act of terrorism, rather than war. In February 2006, Utah District Court Judge Paul Cassell awarded the plaintiffs $102.6 million in damages, approximately $94 million to Speer and $8 million to Morris.[166] He said it likely marks the first time terrorist acts have resulted in civil liabilities.[167] It has been suggested that the plaintiffs might collect funds via the U.S. Terrorism Risk Insurance Act,[168] but the Federal government is not bound by civil rulings, and it has refused to release Khadr's frozen assets.[169]

I would expect that Speer and Morris will be coming for that money.
