No reason I can see why the bring the bribe into it and youre both implicated line wouldnt have worked before Saul surrenders his $30K, especially with the other assets the Kettlepeople obviously have, and all the more so once he has the money in hand.
The evidence against Saul would be circumstantial but compelling. He's the one that found them in the woods and got all wrapped up in their disappearance. The police think he's a bad guy, and, as they say, he's the kind of lawyer criminals hire. Maybe he doesn't get caught or actually get charged with anything, but it would be a big deal. It would lead to an investigation for sure and he probably would take a big PR hit. Best case scenario, he squeaks out of it and goes on with life with a shadow and a ton of suspicion cast over him. Worst case scenario, he goes to jail.
