EXTORTION - The use, or the express or implicit threat of the use, of violence or other criminal means to cause harm to person, reputation, or property as a means to obtain property from someone else with his consent. USC 18
The Hobbs Act defines "extortion" as "the obtaining of property from another, with his consent, induced by wrongful use of actual or threatened force, violence, or fear, or under color of official right." 18 U.S.C. S 1951(b)(2).
I think willing to prove it was just saying simply Sue that you should not rejoice and throw stones at others. There is NO telling what could come out of your closet.
Oh, for your convience I have provided you with the "legal" definition of extortion.
An individual who at one time may not have wanted to be involved in your mess who subsequently changes their mind does not meet the legal definition of extortion.
But then all you had to do was ask Lichfield's attorneys and you would know that.
The only way that I can determine your PRE knowledge of all this as well as the details on the attorneys involved is a simple deducement that you are talking quite frequently with WWASP.
Of course, thats just my opinion.
Perhaps you may want to review the penalty of perjury. You know what happens to those who lie under oath, in depositions etc. Not that you have its just good to know all the ramafications involved in all the lawsuit business. I believe P.R. could enlighten on that matter.
Your best bet here in my humble opion, is to let the legal proceedures proceed without your play by play calls or announcements of them. I am confident the party's involved will disclose what they feel is appropriate and will disclose at the appropriate time.
We do not need your news cast.
