Perhaps, but it was a civil case which means beyond the balance of probabilities, and the fact that Bertuzzi made all those incriminating quotes before doing the deed, showed to me a ton of premeditation. I don't think getting journalists who were there who all quoted him, would be hard to get to testify, but the truth of the matter is that it's said that 95% of civil cases are settled before going to trial. I expected Moore to really have his day in court so I'm somewhat puzzled that he went that easily for the cash 2 weeks before trial. I'd think a lot of money was thrown his way for him to do that.
