We dd, thus, demand that you preserve and preteet any pctential evidence. Refusal or failure be de se cculd result in a legal presumption that the spcliated evidence was adverse te yeu, ycur ecmpany and it?s interests. Please alse nete that per Alabama law there is a Third Party fer Spcliatien. Thus, even if yeur client is net a held te have defamed er etherwise werl-ted civil damages upen cur clients, yeur client may remain in a Ceurt cflaw fer damages caused by the failure is preserve evi dence This is eften times referred te as +?adverse interference".

RErnaeHeN andfer else be aware that we believe the publicaticn and repert{s} made by yeur client's eiganiaaticn were made with knew-ledge that the matter published are false. er they were published with a reckless disregard cf whether it was false er net. We are previ ding ?ve days fer a full and fair public retractien in as premincnt and public a place at manner as the matter published. LIB-EL Er SIANDER, FRAUD, PHIALICE, and NEGLIGENCE As you may knew ?Defamatien? is, ameng ether things, an injury tn reputatien. In Alabama, defamatjen is censidered te be a false statement cf fact, published er spelten with seine degree uf fault, that tends tn harm the reputatiun ef annther an as te lewer him, her er, fer an entity, ?it? in the estimatien ef the cemmunity. This includes damages tn the reputatien cf them inditddually, as an entity, tn their marriage and tr: a persen?s creral] standing. These statements can include ?Libs [twitten] andr'er ?Slander" [spelten], which are both types ef defamatery statements. Ysur client's erganisatien has made andy'er supported defaming statements. This is due tn the careless andfc-r intentienally refused tc advance the truth regarding eur clients. We also believe that yeur client, by and threngh its agents, have damaged cur clients by being careless in hew they handle headlines and repert the eentestual cf the allegatiens. Meaning yeur client has used terms in reperts malicieusly er carelessly which has falsely pert rayi rig eur clients} Speci?cally yeur client's repel-ts have indicated there are ?ve wemen accusing Chief Justice Rey Meere cf sexual miseenducl: when in fact cniy twe wetnen have made aecusatiens cf sesual miscenduct. and bath cf these wcnien have made false statements which yeur client has yet te publish. The ether ladies Which were reunded up in the witch hunt merely allege they perceived him te have made advances, but dc 11m accuse him of any sexual miscenduct. ThusI do note this clearly, yet signi?cant difference which yeur client?s publicatients) have failed in distinguish. And the legal requirement that yuur client retract the steries, te include the details which clearly are false. It is else clear that year client?s erganieaticn is attempting pre-electien ta canspire and crehestrate a "trial by in edia" and is playing in a ?ntnb mentality". We demand this circus cease and desist immediately. We believe it is clear and centrincing yeur client censcieusly and deliberately engaged in eppressien. fraud. wantenness. andfer malice and again as stated abnye we de requested a retractien. With regards ts Judge Meere it is clear that yuur client?s reperts were dene with malice and with regards tn the Feunda?cn fer Mural Law and Richard Jewell it. New ?feds.
