Are media reports accurate that stated the judge in the trial “called for” a settlement?
The judge on Friday, April 16, remarked on the case from the bench prior to the start of a one-week recess. At one point in his remarks, he compared Lower Merion and Harriton High Schools to two luxury automobiles. He said, “Lower Merion and Harriton High School are two of the most outstanding high schools in the United States.” He added, “This is like having a fight between choosing a Rolls Royce or a Bentley, you know, when millions of people, the rest of the world, you know drive Toyotas and Chevrolets and everything else.” He then stated he would like to see Mr. Arnold (the family’s attorney) call his clients and then “call Ms. Harris and give her a proposal, whatever it is, just to get the ball rolling.” The judge did not, however, specifically order settlement talks.
