"If you don't do what I want, I will rip you to shreds"

"What lawyers say is not evidence," is how Deputy Conflict Counsel David Lee started his opening statement.

"In the end your decision will rest on what Angela Fisher says" is how  Mr. Lee ended his statement.

Some of what he said about the family law case and declarations by the three boys was covered in the preliminary hearing but today starting with June 25, 2017 and ending with the arrest of his client Cory Fisher, Mr. Lee described texts between Angela Fisher and Cory Fisher. The title of this post is what the defense said is a text from Angela Fisher to Cory Fisher.

A declining marriage, Angela Fisher's concern of loss of money if Cory Fisher quit his job as a correctional officer, Cory Fisher's alcohol use, use of drugs due to injuries at work and his client being blindsided by allegations of sexual abuse of three boys when he was first served with divorce papers were described in detail by Mr. Lee.

Once news of Fisher's arrest became public, Mr. Lee said inmate James Doe #1 conspired with other inmates to bilk the County.  James Doe #1 told another inmate ,"Let's tell them we are sexually abused" to get money.

Some inmates have settled as I mentioned in previous coverage. Other inmates refused to join in this scheme and will testify.
