Well, there's no point in getting into a pissing contest over this since clearly your mind and the mind of most other posters is made up and therefore your probably not inclined to believe anything that I say.

However, I do want to clarify one thing: we did not file the warrant for his arrest. The warrant for the arrest was filed by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. We were listed as the victim in the warrant and Alan Howard was specifically named. As I said in the previous post, the GBI made the decision to issue a warrant based on the log that they requested from us and that we provided them. Other than responding to requests from the GBI we had nothing to do with the decision to issue a warrant.
