Settlement offers don't at all prove that the offering party thinks they're going to lose in court. Litigation is expensive, It's a way to minimize your expenses even if you were to win.
That's very true and it wouldn't surprise me if defense attorneys in both of these incredibly sensational lawsuits are working at a deep discount.

There is nothing sensational about these court cases. Both have been adjudged to be worthy of, and applicable to adjudication, so there is no element of sensation except in a personal view. The court does not see them as sensational. I doubt very much that the jury sees themelves invoved in anything sensational. It's a very emotive term that has no meaning, really, in this context. It's just a court case. one of many on the docket, nothing wierd or sensational or any other derogatory term.. just a court case. One to which the plaintiffs have been entitled to bring before a judge.
 
If there were no grounds for the plaintiffs matter to have heard before a judge and jury, this case would not have progressed. The fact that it has is firm foundation for the idea of sensationalism to be put to sleep. Judges, anywhere, the USA Is no exception, are not in the business of choosing to give sensationalism a fighting chance, they, like all judges anywhere, steer those things off the road and concentrate on the very aspects of this case that the plaintiffs are bringing, and , in turn , the defence to Laundries' will exhibit.

It's all that it is.
 
Respectfully snipped and capitalized by me.

One thing that has not been proven, that is a completely new legal issue in this case, is whether a lawyer's statement can be used to punish the lawyer's client.

Normally, we assume a lawyer is not channelling their client's exact, precise words. Lawyers usually speak on behalf of their clients, because the clients are confused, have mixed feelings etc.

Aside from that, to believe that a legal case can depend entirely on the absense of a single word is breathtaking simplification. Thankfully, cases are not determined that way.

It’s going to be interesting if it comes up, for sure. Many of us noticed it, and a statement made in a case like this that, by then, had gained national attention, had to be well thought out and carefully crafted before being released. It wasn’t accidental. But the ruling won’t have to be based on the omission of that one word, thank goodness.
 
I don't see it either. No evidence that proves Laundries knew Gabby was dead and also no evidence the Laundries withheld it in order to "intentionally inflict emotional distress." That's quite a stretch to expect a jury to believe, especially considering Gabby and Brian lived with his parents in their Florida home while they planned and saved $$$ to embark on their van adventure.

JMO

Schmidt and Joe Petito, Gabby’s father, have sued the Laundries and Bertolino for intentional infliction of emotional distress, claiming they were aware Gabby was dead but chose to do nothing other than release a statement expressing hope Gabby would be found.
MOO There is a good chance they knew. Did he not return to his parents home with the GPs van?

Yes, he did, and the FBI searched that van where it was situated in the Laundrie's driveway, No one else drove back with him, he stole it, and used it and used Gabby's credit cards ( Deceased Gabby, a crime in itself, using a dead persons credit card) to finance his trip home. ( Brian was a thief, and a murderer, one usually goes along with the other )

No one believes the Laundries didn't know that Gabby was dead. No one. Not in the USA< not in the UK, not in Canada not in AU< no one . It defies commonsense that they did not know and people will judge it on that ground alone, 'Does this make sense??" ...

This being a civil matter, it will be weighed up on the preponderance of the evidence, and the judge will ask himself, 'what would a normal person think and do in this cicumstance?'......

And the answer to that, everyone knows. E.V.E.R.Y.O.N.E.

Lots of fairy stories abound about Brian renting a car, to drive back, the van being left in Wyoming, these are not true. I don't know why these fairy stories are told.JMO

I mean after he murdered her, he returned to his parents home in Gabby's van sans Gabby.
Yup . after strangling and bashing Gabby's head in , he left her battered body out in the open for the buzzards, hopped in the van, and tootled back on home to Mum!!... Because, he said, he wanted a last few days with his family!...

Keeping in mind, that Gabby didn't 'go';.... or ' leave' or.... 'exit'.. or 'wander off'.. . or ...' free strolled off'....

She did not want to leave this life, her life was taken from her. Unlawfully. Dreadfully. Maliciously.

If he and Gabby bought the van together, fixed it up together for the National Park van journey they took together, it was also BL's van.

It was't Brian's van. It was registered to Gabby Petito, Gabby and her mother owned it., God alone knows what is meant by Brian ''fixing it up' putting up few shelves is all. He was no mechanic, no engineer. In law it was not Brian's van, hence he stole it when he took it after murdering her, He had no papers transferring the van to his name. None. No one knows if he even contributed to the fuel or the maintenance. He was a mean kind of guy, along with his killer personality.

That they got in a fight and she escaped. JMO.
Or they had a fight and she left to cool off which seemed to be BL's preferred response to their arguments. GP lived with the Laundrie parents, and she also likely had friends &/or coworkers who knew the couple's relationship, temperament and history.

In the Moab LE incident when GP was crying and so upset, it was very warm and LE offered GP a bottle of a replacement drink to help with dehydration. She refused and said she only drank water. I wondered why she was so adamant against taking an electrolyte supplement that was meant to help her feel better.

That could also be what the Laundries thought happened when BL called and said that Gabby was gone.

The idea they immediately thought that BL had killed her doesn't make sense to me. JMO.

Why do you keep posting misinformation? I posted the link upthread and will do so again. I don't believe Gabby's mother is a liar nor do I believe "48 Hours" would intentionally post misinformation.

JMO
But the couple seemed to put any drama behind them as they got ready for their adventure. Gabby worked hard at Taco Bell and with Brian at Publix supermarket, saving money for their trip.

Nichole Schmidt: They bought the van, they converted it.

The goal was to spend four or five months crisscrossing the country, having adventures, even working on organic farms and chronicling it all in real time on social media.

Probably chemically Gatorade type drink.

If they actually believed lies, at a minimum BL taking her van back to his parents left Gabby out there somewhere, homeless.
