The civil suit came before the criminal case for the murder. His civil case lawyers advised him to settle the suit after he was imprisoned in order to hire the best criminal lawyers he could get, because once the murder charges came he lost all credibility and leverage in the civil suit. He's not dumb for settling. That's my only point in this. I don't believe he's innocent.
I didn't say the insurance companies and jurors and a million people were involved in a coverup. I said that the city/town he was suing couldn't pay the $36 million, so it's speculated the murder could've been placed on him to get the civil suit out of the way. Regardless of whether or not that's true, once he was arrested he had to settle because he couldn't afford a defense.
