If they settle with the accuser, then it hands Nifong a way out of his mess. They are not going to do that.

They most certainly may. They are at risk of decades in prison. They certainly might apologize for calling her names at their house, pay her a bit of money and be done with this. That is why you should never let such settlements make you think that someone is guilty.

Paying someone money for calling them names? Dang, that would cause alot of folks around here to be obliterated by crushing debt!

They can't "settle" a criminal case, I believe. The settlement would ave to be for a civil proceeding, which generally follows the criminal trial.
