The DA sighs, "The matter descended into emotion and the police acted on emotion."

My lawyer sighs and lectures the DA, "Mr. James Till is not a trained lawyer. Mr. James Till is a computer programmer, a logic designer. Mr. James Till has pointed out to me that the four employees of the Lozenge Corporation had their medical bills paid for by the Lozenge Corporation medical insurance and the same four employees of the Lozenge Corporation were paid for the time that they spent attacking Mr. James Till. The expenses of the four employees of the Lozenge Corporation were ultimately paid by the United States government. That last is clearly fraud upon the United States government. Now, any attorney would immediately see that attacking a powerful corporation such as the Lozenge Corporation is something that is just not to be done. I tried to explain the matter to Mr. James Till. Mr. James Till then pointed out to me that the Lozenge Corporation is currently actively trying to inflict bodily harm, perhaps death on him. Mr. James Till also pointed out to me that the Lozenge Corporation is currently forcing him to live what is basically a hermit lifestyle. What does James Till have to lose by attacking a powerful corporation such as the Lozenge Corporation?"

The DA sighs, "Mr. James Till is listed as co-counsel for the legal matters involving him. He has no idea how things run in such matters. It could be trouble. I will talk with the Police Chief and the counsel for the Lozenge Corporation."

My lawyer sighs, "Despite losing his salary at the Lozenge Corporation, Mr. James Till has amassed considerable financial capital. He speculates in the stock market. One of the things that he uses as vehicles for his speculation is the stock of the Lozenge Corporation. When the investigation of defrauding the federal government becomes known, likely the stock price of the Lozenge Corporation will drop and puts for the said stock will rise in price. Mr. James Till will make what they call in investment circles a bundle."

The DA sighs, "Exactly what is it that you want me to do?"

My lawyer sighs, "The Lozenge Corporation has created a problem that neither they nor you can solve. Mr. James Till has a partial solution, that's legal and that will work. I have the remainder of the solution."

"I'm the District Attorney, for this judicial district. You are the CEO of a major company, in the district. Some time back, one of your people tried to force James Till to relocate to some sort of operation out at White Sands Missile Range, in New Mexico. Mr. Till refused the assignment and then quit his employment at the Lozenge Corporation. Your management did not take Mr. Till's refusal well and, according to Court documents, tried to prevent Mr. Till from gaining employment. There was a Court case, in which Mr. Till prevailed over the Lozenge Corporation. The Lozenge Corporation refused to pay the judgment and appealed. The Lozenge Corporation lost several appeals and still refuses to pay the judgment. The Lozenge Corporation insurers have paid some of the judgment, but quite a sum remains to be paid. Mr. Till has been physically threatened by Lozenge Corporation employees. The final act of that played out when four Lozenge Corporation employees attacked Mr. Till, in front of witnesses. The police, the Courts and my office are not going to stand for any more of that. Do you understand?"

The CEO replies, "The Lozenge Corporation is a very political operation. One of my former employees had some sort of clash with Mr. Till. It then apparently got out of hand. I can't watch each of my employees, on a continuous basis."

The District Attorney lectures, "We have a City Building Department. If we have to, we can have building inspectors go through each of the major company buildings, to insure compliance with each and every one of the city requirements. I mean building codes, fire codes, electrical codes, that sort of thing. Fail a major test and we shut the facility down."

The CEO thinks for a few moments and replies, "The Lozenge Corporation is a very political operation. I can make sure that none of my employees try to harass Mr. James Till."

The District Attorney lectures, "That's a start. We also have to make sure that some outside person doesn't try to harass Mr. James Till. No one who's not in the pay of the Lozenge Corporation has any reason to harass Mr. James Till. If someone who's not in the pay of the Lozenge Corporation tries to harass Mr. James Till, the trail leads right back to the Lozenge Corporation."

The CEO thinks for a few moments more and replies, "The Lozenge Corporation is a very political operation. By now, several of my employees probably think that it's a good career move to harass Mr. James Till. I'll do what I can."

The District Attorney lectures, "That's why I'm here. My people will prosecute, to the limit of the law, anyone who tries to harass Mr. James Till and/or anyone who encourages the harassment of Mr. James Till. Anyone who tries to harass Mr. James Till and/or anyone who encourages the harassment of Mr. James Till will be prosecuted to the limit of the law and then they will go to prison, not jail, prison. You need to promulgate the information throughout the Lozenge Corporation."

The CEO thinks for a few moments more and replies, "Why are you so concerned with a nobody, like Mr. James Till?"

The District Attorney sighs and lectures, "Nobody Mr. James Till, has several million dollars. Nobody Mr. James Till, has used some of his several million dollars to hire the best attorney in town. Nobody Mr. James Till, will use some of his programmer training and the services of the best attorney in town to sue and win several more million dollars. The fallout of nobody Mr. James Till's lawsuits will very probably be the destruction of the Lozenge Corporation.
