Shirley McKie

[Pat A. Wertheim]

The Scottish Ministers settled with Shirley McKie today at literally the very last minute in her civil case, scheduled to begin the hearing at 10:30 this morning in Edinburgh, Scotland. While admitting no liability and maintaining that the erroneous identification was an honest mistake, they settled for the full £750,000 for which she had originally sued. On hand to begin testimony were Pat Wertheim, Arie Zeelenberg, Allan Bayle, and a host of other experts. While the settlement may have prevented their testimony in court to a house packed with reporters, press conferences are being held in the next few days to apprise the public of the facts of the case.
