I would need to talk to Mr. Frink in person to know if Peg's version of his concerns is accurate and complete. Otherwise what Peg wrote about Mr. Frink is just rumor, well, unless she has audio tapes of his statements, or witnessed written documents. If we wanted to find out about what Mr. Frink knows or intends regarding a court case, we would need to question him in person, if possible.<BR>
<BR>
If you were to repeat what Peg just posted to V2020 about Mr. Frink's state of mind on the stand in a court case if would be regarded as hearsay. I am assuming you have no direct knowledge of Mr. Frink from any other source but Peg's statements.<BR>
