Someone was saying how they thought people who didn't go to court to prove their innocence were fools and it meant they were guilty. A few of us pointed out how, sad as it is, sometimes it's better to run than to fight.
Well I've got a great example of this: The embattled MorganStanley was just handed a $1.45 Billion judgement against them in a suit brought by Ron Perelman. Morgan insisted they're not at fault (still do) and during the trial was offered a $20 million settlement by Mr. Perelman's side which they declined (since they were sure they were innocent). The moral of the story is this: legal fees are expensive and juries are unpredictable no matter what your guilt is. It's ALWAYS better to take a relatively low cost settlement than to gamble. Unfortunately settlements are a cost of doing business in America and don't indicate guilt, IMO. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get help!
