I think I read in another thread that folks are worried it looks like a settlement is coming? Please say it ain't so! I am a month behind in Tony reading but I figured y'all could maybe point me in the right direction to get caught up on the latest on this case?
It ain't so.
The case is bogged down with motions and appeals. The first decision on the appeal heard in April could come any day now. It may not come until late June or July though.
A time extension had been granted to defendants attorneys until June sometime....due to claimed involvement in other cases and clients.
But I really don't think this is about money. It's a god-given way of getting at DM. The Rathbuns are old campaigners; they have been up against this stuff for years now and I believe this case has been a long time making and will not be given up easily. Why give up when you have survived all the fair-gaming and have got your opponent against the ropes? I hope I'm right.
I am neither a lawyer nor a Marty-watcher but I would be very surprised if s/he having pushed the wee man into a corner and jumped on him will take money and let him off the hook, to mix a metaphor or two. Why not hang on and get even with him and get the money too?

Thanks for all the info folks! As far as should they settle or not.. Well, it wasn't my life savings I donated to the cult that the Rathbuns could walk away with but I'd hate to see the reaction they will get if they take millions and millions of dollars, and DM never get deposed, while some here are struggling to get by. I see the arguments all around and I don't have an opinion really..I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything.
