My Family Tried to Bribe Me After My Niece Broke My Seven-Year-Old Son’s Arm
Below the bank’s official signature and the printed amount of one hundred thousand dollars, my father had handwritten four words on the memo line: Settlement for accidental fall.
A real financial gift or an unconditional trust payment wouldn’t carry any conditions written on the face of the check.
By writing those four words on the memo line of a certified cashier’s check and handing it to a key witness along with a pre-written false statement, Charles had created undeniable written evidence of felony witness tampering and attempted bribery.
He thought my low county salary made me desperate enough to take the check without understanding what it meant legally.
