The legal system was never going to "make an example out of Bertuzzi", it was always going to rule within the confines of the law, so next year or seven years ago won't matter from that perspective. In some respects, it may strengthen Moore's case, since he obviously never played again, and if doctors will testify to continuing symptoms, well...
Of course, part of the reason why this has taken so long are things like the secret deal Bertuzzi and Orca Bay fought very hard to keep private. Until things like that resolved, the main trial couldn't go forward.
