Alternatively, if Ripple had been to emerge victorious, then the case would nonetheless discover its means again to Decide Torres, however this time round, it might be headed for trial. Following the outcomes, Deaton predicts extra appeals on all the problems addressed. Ultimately, it simply ends in a protracted and drawn-out struggle.
