+ | ==== Involving AxaMonitor ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Dorros trying to involve AxaMonitor in this effort, however, did nothing but outrage Peters, who insisted continuing to do so would only further hurt Burnett’s defense. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [{{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | === 'My Stalker’ === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Peters criticized Bawden and Burnett for " | ||

+ | > This is just one more amateur attempt to defame me. … There will be no settlement if this is part of your legal strategy. Carlos … now has posts constantly. The damages to my reputation need to be compensated.((Alec Peters email to Torin Dorros, H. Michael Dever, Robert Meyer Burnett, Mike Bawden, 4/29/19.)) | ||
+ | ===== The Disputed Assets ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | In his April 27 email to Bawden, Peters outlined his dispute with Burnett over missing hard drives Peters said he never got: | ||
+ | |||
+ | > Rob never gave us any digital assets he handled, including BTS [Behind the Scenes footage], the Vulcan Scene, Origins interview, etc. He specifically held back anything he shot or edited. The **only** assets we ever got were raw footage of //Prelude// and ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | [{{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Counterclaims ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | In his email to Bawden Peters also addressed Burnett' | ||
+ | |||
+ | > All your bullshit counter claims are absurd. I have three lawyers looking at this case and they all say the same thing: we are going to crush Rob as I have all the facts and proof for every claim behind me. Rob's YouTube videos alone are a huge defamation claim. And when the judge sees what the settlement offer you rejected is, it will not go well for Rob.((Alec Peters email to Mike Bawden, 4/27/19.)) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Given the settlement offer' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Peters also seemed to relish the possibility of examining each party' | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | [{{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Jurisdictional Dispute ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Peters finally addressed the concern over whether Georgia was the appropriate venue for his action, given that Burnett is a California resident, all the disputed events occurred in California, co-plaintiff Axanar Productions is a California corporation not registered to do business in Georgia: | ||
+ | |||
+ | > I couldn’t care less if the case gets moved to CA [California]. My attorney in [Los Angeles] is an asshole, compared to the nice guy my [Georgia] lawyer is.((Alec Peters email to Mike Bawden, 4/27/19.)) | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Raising the Stakes ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | As a result of what Peters called " | ||
+ | |||
+ | > One more email that [AxaMonitor editor] Carlos is copied on and all settlement talks are off.((Alec Peters email to Torin Dorros, H. Michael Dever, Robert Meyer Burnett, Mike Bawden, 4/29/19.)) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Of course, Peters neglected to mention that negotiation hadn't even begun since his lawyer has resisted several efforts by Burnett' | ||
+ | |||
+ | > I am writing this correspondence to you as a last means of getting the parties to resolution prior to other actions that will be necessitated simply as a result of the inability for the parties to effectively communicate to allow for any meaningful settlement prospects.((Torin Dorros email to H. Michael Dever, “Re: Alec Peters and Axanar Productions, | ||
+ | |||
+ | // | ||
+ | ===== Bottom Line ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Despite Peters’ repeated claim that he will undoubtedly win his case against Burnett, his failure to file the required basic paperwork in court appeared only to stall his litigation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **How is the truth defamatory? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Peters says he isn’t defaming Burnett**: "I have zero concern about calling Rob [[second_letter|a thief]]. It is a fact. Can’t wait for that to start showing up in the Google results for people searching for info on Rob. I am sick of this bullshit, and sick of you [Bawden] enabling Rob. His info dump to Carlos shows what a child he is." | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Why won’t his lawyer respond? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **What’s Peters’ real priority? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Personal animosity** | ||
+ | |||
+ | > I have an iron clad case. … I am happy to spend whatever to teach Rob a lesson. All you non-lawyers have your collective heads up your butts if you think Rob has any chance in court." | ||
