“The codger had more evidence for what he did than you do for your commments.”
Well, let’s see....the old guy was there on the scene and went through the whole thing - he had first hand evidence and would be competent to testify as a witness. You, on the other hand, engage in psychoanalysis, among other things, based on the story.
Please note, I am not saying that his actions will fall within the statutory language. We’ll just have to wait to see how this plays out on the facts.
That's a good enough reason to take cover.
Kind of wonder what you would do.
