Heck, even if he genuinely feels an apology is owed, he might still want to show strength in order to avoid "rewarding" Wenzel's lawsuit. Of course, the worst outcome for him would be to lose the lawsuit, so if he's been advised that he is likely to lose, then perhaps he should apologize.
If Wenzel did somehow win $6M from the mayor, I have to think it would be an absolute PR nightmare for Wenzel. It would be interesting to see Wenzel forced to drop the suit in order to avoid winning it.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a settlement that does not include an apology. Nenshi needs an out that saves face.

Winning a lawsuit is hardly a PR nightmare? That gives it complete legitimacy, and shows he was "right all along". The PR nightmare is the judge laughing in his face and saying its frivolous.
I don't actually care whether Nenshi apologizes, its up to him. But if he doesn't, and that could avoid the whole thing, why should taxpayers pay for that decision?
