Abuse of Process

About the Book

Based on actual civil investigations, Abuse of Process provides the readers with an inside look on how two individuals attempted to use the legal system of the Unites States to extort funds from a wealthy individual. The plan was very well orchestrated and was almost successful had it not been for a very thorough and complex investigation as well as the tenacity of the investigators and the defense attorney. The abuse of the legal system for any illegal or extortionate scheme cannot be tolerated in a democracy such as ours. The victim, Mr. Nelson Peltz received a lot of wide ranging and unfavorable publicity when the accusations were made however as usual, when exonerated, the coverage was minimal. WHERE CAN HE GO TO FULLY RESTORE HIS REPUTATION and to ensure that everyone that read or heard the unfounded allegations will read or hear about the extortion that was attempted against him?
