For example, a classic trick of defence lawyers is to invite the victim (who will usually be poor) to a settlement conference on the pretext of offering a lot of money in exchange for silence, withdraw the offer and then leak that there was a settlement conference to the press - in the hope of tainting the grand jury or jury with the "gold digger" slander.
It's a tactic as old as the hills, and seems to have worked here.

This is utterly ridiculous. This is a criminal case. The state (or crown in Canada) has carriage of it, not Kane or the victim. There is no settlement to be made.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
