Just thought I'd throw a post out here to liven things up a little.

Milton Kent, of the Baltimore Sun, reports Baltimore Ravens LB Ray Lewis has avoided a scheduled civil trial by reaching a financial settlement with the daughter of one of two men killed in a fight in Atlanta after the SuperBowl in 2000. Attorneys filed suit in August 2001 on the daughter's behalf against Lewis and four others in federal court in Atlanta. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed.

ESPN.com wrote:Baltimore Ravens middle linebacker Ray Lewis has reached a financial settlement in a civil lawsuit brought against him and four others by the daughter of one of the two men that the NFL's top defensive player was accused of murdering in 2000.
Terms of the settlement were not disclosed under a confidentiality agreement. But India Lollar, 4, the daughter of the slain Richard Lollar, is expected to receive a seven-figure payment under terms of the agreement. She and her mother, Kellye Smith, the fiance of Richard Lollar at the time of his death, originally sought $13 million in the suit.
The arrangement was agreed upon Thursday after several mediation sessions. A trial had been scheduled to begin June 14. Smith, who resides now in Decatur, Ga., reiterated on Saturday that she cannot discuss the settlement.
Lollar and a friend, Jacinth Baker, were stabbed to death in the Buckhead night life section of Atlanta in a melee several hours after the conclusion of Super Bowl XXXIV. Lewis, who was in Atlanta for the game pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor obstruction of justice charge and was sentenced to probation. Lewis was initially charged with murder, but those charges were dropped as part of a plea agreement.
The civil lawsuit, which will now be dropped, was filed in August 2001.

this right here just tells me that Ray Ray bought his freedom. If he wasn't guilty, then why pay the $$$ ?
I liken it to when I got my divorce. When it was time to argue over the $$ in the bank and all our belongings, I was so F'ing ready to just throw it all at her and wash my hands of the situation. I just wanted it to be DONE and over with. I didn't care about getting my fair share, I just wanted to move on with my life.

He's just trying to move on. I'm sure whatever he had to pay ( a couple mil maybe at most?) is totally worth shutting the door on this.

Right-o. It'd be O.J. Simpson-like if this went into a civil trial - I'm sure Lewis would rather avoid that kind of coverage and just focus on anything else instead.
