Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Georgia

a multi-million verdict overturned

If person ''A'' has information that could declare a mistrial in a multi-million law suit against a well known ''major corporation'' (judgement for ''major corporation'') and the company did end up having to pay MILLIONS to the parents of an child crippled for life, does person ''A'' deserve any compensation for coming forward or can they legally ask for compensation in the event the judgement is overturned or is person ''A'' a low-life scumbag for even Wondering?? Person ''A'' will come forward regardless, for the childs sake, but is still curious all the same.

THANKS, person ''B''-whois not involved at all!!

It would be astonishing if one were to do the right thing simply because it is the right thing to do, without concern for personal gain.

Good things tend to follow those who do good things.
