Well, settlement isn't even an option this time. He will be facing criminal charges, not civil. What happened last time is that he was facing civil charges and got a settlement with the victim's family. The law did not allow the state to prosecute without the victim's (now lacking) cooperation. They have since changed that law, and can press charges with or without the victim's cooperation. Anyway, I don't think you can settle with the government in a criminal case, just plea bargain.
