I'm not sure of the exact details of the case but,as Richard Jewell did,he's got a huge case against NBC...and maybe others as well.Yes,NBC will fight it...or pretend to...but behind closed doors they'll say,in the end,"OK,you're asking ten million,we'll give you three".That is,if they're smart.And if GZ's smart he'll take the three million from NBC and then move on to the next target.
Just my 2 cents' worth...
Until NBC makes a reasonable offer and Zimmerman accepts it, he’s still got to make a living. It may yet take a while. Also, a settlement of 3 mil after lawyers fees [a third of the settlement + court costs and out of pocket expense] and after paying off his legal bills [for the trial, etc.] wd probably leave him still in the hole, or close to it. I hope he ends up getting more than that.
Correction. Zimmerman only owes his trial team between $200,000 & 300,000—less than I thought. Plus, they are trying to wrangle that $ out of the state of FL. I have no idea what the likelihood of success is. If they fail, Zimmerman’s still on the hook. But he wd have more of the 3,000,000 left over than I originally thought, & I wanted to update to that effect.
