I know I walk a thin line with the Protection Racket agreement. Several players (yourself included) have made it clear that they will oppose any attempts at corrupting the judicial system. I personally don't have a problem with said corruption (to some extent) and the Protection Racket agreement is in existence for those cases where I or one of the other Dons deems a case to be "worth the risk". However, I don't think this particular case is worth the risk, since ehird directly brought this trouble upon emself. Therefore, unless e (or someone else) can provide me a reasonable interpretation that would lead to the desired outcome I will move to de-Protect this case (if Ivan Hope is in agreement with me). I don't want to gamble my status within Agora on this case....but there are other cases that I might want to do so. BobTHJ
