  Hey all,

  just got into a long discussion with my "in" parents about the Candace Conti case, they knew nothing about it and are shocked! I mentioned the out of court settlements in other cases. I am now worried that I have spoken without evidence or based on conjecture. I of course said all this info came from reputable web news reports? Can anyone help?

  There was a big case a while back that's been thoroughly covered at the silent lambs website. And if you check watchtowerdocuments.com, Barbara Anderson has verificaion of cases going back to 1964, I believe.

  Barb Anderson posted info that was released by accident by a west coast court that suggested $800K in one case and so many millions total to settle a number of cases there. At least, that's how I remember it.
