Deepwater Horizon trial may hold many twists for BP - FT.com

Deepwater Horizon trial may hold many twists for BP - FT.com: by Ed Crooks & Sylvia Pfeiffer (free registration required)
"At 8am on Monday February 27, the trial is due to start in the civil case over the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico in which 11 men died.
Before then, however, there could still be several dramatic turns left in the largest and most complex litigation the US has seen for more than a decade, which will rule on who was to blame for the largest oil spill in US waters.
Talks are continuing between the parties – including BP, other companies involved in the disaster, the US government, and lawyers for roughly 120,000 civil plaintiffs – over possible pre-trial settlements."
