They should have had to pay millions
The county settled a lawsuit from the employees rather than going to a jury trial on Monday.
That is common in civil suits where the plaintiff believes they will lose in court; it saves money. In this case they may also have avoided going to court to avoid setting a legal precedent that anyone could use against their employer. Other powerful people may have been talking to the people at this county to keep this out of court.
