   How do you know if I'd be satisfied or not?  If were making judgements   
   without you knowing me from adam, I'm accusing you of being a corrupt LEO or   
   corrupt ADA.   
      
   You sound like you have a iron in this fire.  Who's "Acceptable standards"   
   are you applying?   
      
   I absolutly gaurantee this family is going to get millions from Gresham.   
   There will be punitive damages awarded unless it settles out of court..  If   
   there was nothing wrong, they wouldn't get that much.  I'll eat crow if that   
   doesn't happen.
