Good news for the Madison 5. Other than that little if anything will change. The defendants were not forced to justify their actions and policies in front of a judge and jury, where they surely would have lost. In my view, a prime opportunity was lost.

"They" appeared to indicate the Madison 5...

No, it doesn't appear that way.
"The defendants were not forced to justify their actions and policies in front of a judge and jury, where they surely would have lost."
"they" refers to "the defendants."
The Madison 5 were the plaintiffs in the lawsuit. Thus, in that quote, "They" appeared to indicate the cops, who would have allegedly been 'forced to justify their actions and policies in front of a judge and jury." Whether "they [defendants] surely would have lost" is really unknown. The reality is that at least the defendants believed that the judgement instead of the trial was the better course, for whatever reason their legal counsel recommended it.
What a great analogy!wrightme said:It isn't typical to be able to get out from under the feet of the horses and immediately trample back.
