TMZ.com first reported early Wednesday morning it obtained a letter from Winston's lawyer, David Cornwell, sent to Florida State University saying Winston would fully cooperate with the school's investigation into its handling of rape charges. In the letter later acquired by the Sentinel, Cornwell wrote one of the accuser's attorneys, Patricia Carroll, sought $7 million and informed Cornwell, "If we settle, you will never hear from my client or me again -- in the press or anywhere."
