Re: Settlement Objection

Well the defendant who is settling will give something to the plaintiff in exchange for having charges dropped against that defendant. The other defendants can still be sued, and may now have to deal with the "early-bird" threatening to testify against them. There a lot of complicated issues involved with this kind of case and settlement discussion, and I recommend hiring an attorney.
