Justice the American way . The rich get to just buy their way out of trial

[Ocelot II]

4. That's what commercial litigation is for. Dominion's business was harmed

by Fox's falsehoods about its products, so they sued to recover damages and be made whole. "Buying your way out of trial," also known as settling the case, is what happens in about 90% of all commercial cases. The whole purpose of the lawsuit was not to satisfy the public's desire to punish Fox but to ensure that Dominion would be compensated for the harm done to its business, and by settling for an amount Dominion considered adequate they could be sure that they would be compensated immediately, not have to risk the uncertain results of a jury trial, or wait years and years for the outcome of the inevitable appeals. Except for the fact that the defendant was a major media outlet that told a lot of lies on the air, this case would have been just another of the thousands of cases that are filed and settled every year. "Buying your way out of trial" is the result most parties aim for.
