What evidence is there against him?
your friend has claimed he has a voicemail of a threat to call police, and the only thing on there is turning the matter over to the attorneys and go to court:
The timeline given - hired sept 1, fired oct 1, threatened oct 5, and the police paperwork states they were contacted september 20. That timeline does not fit. and thsi is the timeline YOUR FRIEND PROVIDED!
And the thing I find most curious about your friend is this: he claimed he was just a handyman, but seems to have some inside, corporate information on payroll, etc. If he was just a handyman, how would he know if the agreement called for additional workers, weekly schedules, etc? He wouldn't be privy to that information.
I actually called the court on friday to check the story out. Know what I found out? According to the LA county inmate website, your friend was released from jail with no bond. The court clerk, Myrna, told me that there has not been any arraignment, and they were "waiting for arrest warrants to be filed." Why would they need to file arrest warrants, if he had already been arrested? Something doesn't sound right about that.
right now the only important timeline is that Bret threatened to call the police and shortly after the place gets raided. so at this point it's actually up to Bret to prove he's not the snitch.
