Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Georgia
a multi-million verdict overturned
If person ''A'' has information that could declare a mistrial in a multi-million law suit against a well known ''major corporation'' (judgement for ''major corporation'') and the company did end up having to pay MILLIONS to the parents of an child crippled for life, does person ''A'' deserve any compensation for coming forward or can they legally ask for compensation in the event the judgement is overturned or is person ''A'' a low-life scumbag for even Wondering?? Person ''A'' will come forward regardless, for the childs sake, but is still curious all the same.
THANKS, person ''B''-whois not involved at all!!

Re: a multi-million verdict overturned
Demanding payment for doing something which one ought do in the first place is not looked upon favorably in this society. Many do it, however, without regard to what society thinks.
It would be astonishing if one were to do the right thing simply because it is the right thing to do, without concern for personal gain.
Good things tend to follow those who do good things.
