The courts really ought to require that all the facts are in before allowing
the suits to go forward.

An out-of-court settlement never sees a court, which is why it's
called an _out-of-court_ settlement.

I wonder why Circuit City and Martinair caved in so easily. What did
they do that makes them liable for anything?


What makes you think they weren't? The casual evidence points more
to them being responsible than Cessna.

They flew around in rime icing conditions for an extended period
waiting to get approach clearance.

What should they have done? Can you declare an emergency in a
situation like that? Should they have done so?

The "presumption of innocence" does not apply to civil
litigation. Stick to topics you know much about.

A plaintiff has to show that he has a valid claim against a defendant.
That is a presumption of innocence. If someone sues you for
defamation, he has to present evidence supporting his claim. Absent
such evidence, you do not have to do anything to prove that his claim
is unfounded.
