civil? huh? why not a criminal case.
prosecutor should be prosecuted for not bringing a criminal case then...
and it's used in newspapers now already against them. the reason they would do a settlement is to get off cheaper.
anyways, settlements are common in criminal cases as well. the whole settlement system needs to go - it's a joke internationally and seemingly makes the prosecution first try to up the charges so they can settle down so they don't need to go to court and instead can blackma.. "negotiate" the culprit to admit to something lower - which makes the whole system a joke and not a justice system(the law has certain punishments for certain crimes, it's not supposed to be a negotiation and the court is supposed to find out what happened).
for example if the prosecution has evidence that someone murdered someone, they damn well should prosecute it as a murder and not try to make a deal for manslaughter - and if they have just evidence of it being a manslaughter then they should prosecute it as such! it's not the prosecutions job to make a deal with the culprit about what the crime was...
