Well, I can't speak for Dr Mann or my co-defendants, but I want to put it in front of a jury - in part because I loathe "settling" and regard it as a malign and corrupting influence on the American "justice" system. Nobody's guilty or innocent any more, are they? It's all about the settling. But the pressure to "settle" means that, for a litigious goon like Dr Mann, simply launching suits relieves him of the need to win them. Nuts to that. He wanted this case, so he can have it and take it to a jury.

Here are a few more links I have found useful in understanding the issues.

Were I on that jury, I’d assess damages in favor to Steyn in the range of nine or ten figures to be paid by Mann and his employer.

Do it like Spinal Tap -- go all the way to "11".

For that suggestion, Mark, may I submit my tiny little claim for compensation as your counsel ..... like, say, 0.4%? That's pretty modest.
