What evidence is there that she actually said this? It sounds like it’s just the ex-girlfriend who reported the threat. That seems like it would be a… convenient threat to report from a family with that history. Was the call recorded? Probably not. If I was the defendant my story would be that I never said such a thing. ---

Interesting story. It appears that the girl has been in America long enough to understand that a meal at Appleby’s doesn’t deserve payment in real money. ---
