This isn't about taking someone else's word over mine you little minx.
You just said that when people settle they are innocent but when they don't settle they too are innocent. It just depends on which side Trump is on because the rules are different for him. Whatever he does is always good and true.
/----/ Please post a link where I wrote that incoherent, asinine statement : "You just said that when people settle they are innocent but when they don't settle they too are innocent. " Just because someone settles does not mean they are innocent or guilty. Here is another attorney on the subject. Go argue with him:
To Settle or Not to Settle? That Is the Question
By Shulamit Shvartsman, Attorney | Reviewed by David Goguen, J.D., University of San Francisco School of Law
There are many benefits to settlement of a legal dispute or lawsuit, for instance:
Expense. Trials involve attorneys, expert witnesses, extensive depositions during the discovery process, travel, and time. If a case settles before going to trial, many of these expenses can be significantly reduced or eliminated altogether.
Stress. Settlement may reduce some of the stress that a trial can bring on. Besides the anticipation of the unknown result to come, both sides of a lawsuit might fear getting on the witness stand and telling their story to a judge and jury, then being subject to cross-examination by the other side's attorney.
Privacy. Details of a civil case can be kept private when settled. When you take a case to trial, the court documents become a public record, and anyone can look at them, unless the judge orders the records sealed. When you settle a case, most of the details are kept out of the court documents, and aren't a public record. Many settlement agreements also incorporate a confidentiality clause.
Predictability. Any trial lawyer will tell you that a jury's decision isn't the easiest thing in the world to predict. By contrast, you can dictate the terms of your settlement agreement, or at least work with the other side to come up with a deal you can both live with.
Finality. The losing party can appeal a court judgment, dragging out the process even longer. Settlements can't usually be appealed.
