Thats how they do it…..
An extra legal out of court settlement. Lawyers will be pissed.
What could you possibly be yammering about? In the first place, out of court settlements are just as legal as judgments reached in court.
In the second place, this is in no way a civil matter. It’s a murder investigation and when the suspects are caught, they will be tried in criminal court.
The critical term is “extra legal”. A much more cost effective solution to any legal problem. That’s what I’m yammering about.
I absolutely agree with you that settlements reached out of court, with or without lawyers, are better than going to court.
I don’t like the term ‘extra legal’ because it also encompasses such behavior as personally recovering stolen property at gun point. That’s a case of two wrongs don’t make a right, in spades.
Now you’ve got it.
Yes. Like extra judicious.
You misunderstand. The civil matter mentioned refers to what kind of dispute the victim and the assailants were having. It does not mean this isn’t a criminal situation.
