No, Unforgettable, I’m not wrong at all.
I said that the fact of the dismissal itself did not establish that zero money was awarded to LK from MB. The dismissal was one part of the settlement, but there could have been payment from MB to LK, zero payment either way, or payment from LK to MB.
According to LO, there was zero payment between LK and MB in either direction. That was always a possibility, but it was not established by the dismissal filing, as Sdel claimed.
Here is what I think happened. SGF wanted to settle with LK with a significant monetary award, possibly millions. However, even if LK accepted the settlement with SGF, SGF is not totally out of the picture until the entire suit is dismissed.
I think the SGF settlement was of the form: we, SGF, pays LK $$$$, and in exchange LK agrees to drop the entire suit against all defendants, with prejudice. Having received $$$$ from SGF and RC, LK wanted MB to dismiss his counter suit as a condition for her dropping her suit.
I said from the beginning that I thought the suit would be settled, and that any large monetary award would come from the insurance company for SGF, as opposed to actual people like MB, RC, or the Lundbergs.
If LK got her monetary settlement from two insurance companies, and MB agreed to drop his counter suit, how could LK do any better by continuing the suit?
What good would it do to pursue a million dollar award from MB in the civil suit when he doesn’t have millions, and the jury might decide that he wasn’t responsible for shooting her due to the insanity?
