Idiot.  Feel bad for the family, but they've just gone along with the story (which may or may not be in their control). I'm sure they just want to let it go, but suing fox would open it back up, unless they're just trying to settle. Fox always pays now so I doubt they would fight it. If they did go to court, there's going to be a lengthy discovery and witnesses, a lot of bringing all of this back up, evidence. I live in dc and several of my friends knew him. No one believes the story we were given.  Completely agree this is damage control and the truth on this will come out.
