- 8:41by defendant, above regardless of those passages original. Author it
- 8:45is ultimately the defendant who noted, anything because it is
- 8:49her statement and she directed that it be sent to

- 10:51Media the press release did not threaten or give warning
- 10:54to the media in any way. Whatsoever c McCauley declaration
- 10:58At exhibit twenty. Six, Next Miss roberts disputes the sentence,
- 11:03accordingly in that the statement he repeatedly noted That miss
- 11:07roberts allegations were. Defamatory barden did not note anything in the,
- 11:11statement nor does defendant sight to any record evidence that he. Does,
- 11:16Furthermore Miss roberts denies that any of her allegations are
- 11:19defamatory in the slightest as they are all true and
- 11:23substantiated by record. Evidence Miss roberts also disputes the sentence

- 11:39publication Of Miss roberts's obviously false allegations and the legal
- 11:44indefensibility of their own. Conduct, First Miss roberts objects to
- 11:48any statement Of bardon's intent as articulated. Above, second defendant's
- 11:53conventional press release was in no way any type of
- 11:56cease and desist. Letter there is no evidence in support
- 11:59of the, claim And defendant on surprisingly cites to. None,
- 12:03Third Miss roberts disputes that any media recipients would be
- 12:07given to understand the seriousness with Which Miss maxwell consider
- 12:10the publication Of miss roberts obviously false allegations and the
- 12:15legal indefensibility of their own conduct by the defendant self
- 12:19serving press, release as that is unsupported by the. Record,
