Ben Roethlisberger's Lawyer Hires A Private Investigator In Assault Case

Not really....it just means he'd rather pay to shut her up instead of having all the sordid details plastered all over the press. It's not always an admission of guilt. Sometimes it's just a matter of how much is your name not being dragged through the mud publicly worth to you?

 

I think you can only settle out of court for a civil case but in this care its criminal and in criminal you don't settle you take a plea bargain or go through the whole process waiting to see what the jury thinks

 

a settlement would kill him in the court of public opinion.

 

He's already been all but tarred and feathered by most people. Really, how will that change his rep? I'm waiting for the facts. If he's found guilty, he's a full fledged card carrying member of the Douchbag guild. If he's not, he's just guilty of piss poor judgment and being a huge dork.

 

If he settles out of court i'll be stoked.

 

I'm good with that.

 

:rofl:

and the movie for that team comes out this year
