Faith Stowers VPR Lawsuit - Part 1

In this three part series, we are covering a lawsuit Erika's former costume designer filed against her, the secret service, her assistants, and American Express. We think the complaint gives the best overview of what occurred (excerpt below) so in this episode we read through the second half of it and provide our thoughts.
This case discusses alleged corruption by Secret Service agents who conspired with Defendant Erika Girardi, a well-known television personality and theatrical performer, her assistants and employees, Defendant Laia Ribatallada and Defendant Michael Minden, Defendant AMEX, and its employee, Defendant Peter Grimm. It is alleged that all Defendants agreed and conspired to maliciously prosecute Chris Psaila for alleged wire fraud and identity theft by claiming Chris Psaila defrauded Erika Girardi by charging her AMEX card with false charges for goods and services under his business Marco Marco.
