FSU President John Thrasher announced terms Monday. Thrasher says FSU will pay Erica Kinsman $250,000 and her attorneys $700,000.

There’s something wrong about this. I have nothing against lawyers getting what they deserve, but almost 75% of the settlement?

Oddly enough, that was my takeaway from this story too. Her lawyers are getting almost 3 times as much as the actual victim of the crime? That’s extremely irksome.

That’s a lot of green to paper over “the holes in her story”, Mr. Prosecutor-Man. I bet there’s enough left over to hide some errors in “due process” too!

That reminds me of the trouble that lawyer Chesley and his buddies encountered in the fhen-fhen case.

Of course now is the time to settle, with a nondisclosure, as they can’t make any more money off the perp.

There’s a reason why almost all the commercials on off network TV is by personal injury lawyers or against pharmaceutical companies or the asbestos settlement.

Wow! Looks like she got the short end of the stick…$250K versus her lawyer fees $700K.
