It's telling that Harold Ryan chose to settle in this manner, as it probably means he knew there was a significant chance he would have lost at trial. Interesting stuff, nonetheless.

Not really. The VAST majority of cases never make it to trial. Settling is the more common outcome.

Yeah because the cost of the trial can be too much for both sides, so it's in both side's interest to work towards a settlement unless you specifically want/need to set a legal precedent.
