A complaint doesn't need to allege evidence.

Correct grasshopper. (Are you already studying Civ Pro?)

In a complaint you merely allege the facts that you intend to prove at trial. Whether you have the evidence to prove up the facts is for the jury to decide. The complaint must contain enough alleged "facts" to establish that there is a legitimate cause of action.

Yep. Along with Torts, Property, ethics, and Research and Writing, that rounds out my first semester curricula.

I have been trying to get this answered.

In the complaint, the lengthy phone passages are NOT quoted but are indented paragraph form without quotes.

O'Reilly said:
xxxxx blah blah
O'Reilly boasted:
xxxxx blah blah

While shorter passages are quoted.

O'Reilly boasted, "Blah Blab"

Is this significant?
