Letter by Cleveland Stadium corp that says “Dear Mr. Cox:

Attached is a letter that we received on November 19, 1974. I feel that you should be aware that some asshole is signing your name to stupid letters.

Very truly yours,

CLEVELAND STADIUM CORP.

James N. Bailey,
General Counsel”

If it was Tennessee instead of Colorado, I have no doubt she'd be released instantly.

since she was charged in state court

even an ambulance chaser of his stature should understand that much - his only real motive, publicity

Threatening federal legal action against state officials as a publicity stunt isn’t a good way to keep your law license.

A Presidential pardon carries zero legal significance for a state crime and the lawyer knows that. "Demanding" the government break the law to release a convicted criminal should itself be a crime.

But surely if he took this argument to any court, he could be looking at sanctions because it is obviously frivolous and malicious.

If people would look at the crimes that Peters committed, they would not be surprised that she was able to hire a lawyer that matched her intellect.
