Randall Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Friedberg: Moss accuser sought $500,000 January 17th, 2008 – 8:04 AM by Kevin Seifert Local defense attorney Joe Friedberg, who remains part of New England WR Randy Moss’ legal team, is telling multiple media outlets that the woman who sought a restraining order against Moss asked him for $500,000 last week to keep the story quiet. Moss refused, and the story surfaced on a Florida radio station Wednesday. Friedberg represented Moss in 2002 following the now-infamous TrafficCopGate incident in downtown Minneapolis. Friedberg is not licensed to practice in Florida, where the incident happened, but he told KFAN Radio (1130-AM) that he is helping Moss secure local counsel in Florida. Moss is being accused of injuring the woman, whom he has been friends with for 11 years, and denying her medical aid. Friedberg, however, called the accident a result of “consensual horseplay” between Moss and the victim. http://nc.startribune.com/blogs/vikings/?p=1292 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is true her credibility just went out the window, and IMO she should be investigated for blackmail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fballfreak Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 This is all a joke and this woman who exploits the laws to her advantage gives a real bad persona to all the women out there who actually need these laws for their own protection. It really is sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caveman_Nick Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I can take a restraining order out on you today, did you do anything wrong? No, but if the judge grants you one and I violate it, I can be jailed. You think that makes it a legal issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperCharger Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 No, but if the judge grants you one and I violate it, I can be jailed. You think that makes it a legal issue? Not until you violate it. You don't actually break a law until you break it. Randy hasn't broken any law and currently is not in legal trouble.

If it can be proved she tried to extort money from him there will be charges. Didn't the same thing happen to Jerome Bettis a few years ago? Some lady accused him of something and in the end, she was the one charged with a crime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budlitebrad Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 The term "troubles" could imply anything. It could mean simply being distracted, which in this case Randy definitely is. Is it really worth crying about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Swerski Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Pardon my legal ignorance, but doesn't one need some sort of reason to get a restraining order against somebody? If not, I'd like to get a restraining order against some of my idiot co-workers who ask me stupid questions every 5 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restraining orders kick in right away for the protection of the alleged victim from imminent danger. It was issued "ex parte" after the judge considered her side of the story and lasts until the hearing. If Moss decides to skip the full hearing during SB week, they will only hear the woman's side of the story, which isn't good for Moss since he has a record.

If Moss decides to skip the full hearing during SB week, they will only hear the woman's side of the story, which isn't good for Moss. So it sounds like judges will give them out with little or no evidence initially and then make a long-term decision after the hearing. Even in light of Moss' past, I get the feeling that she's full of it. If this indeed did happen, I suspect that she would've called the police and pressed charges right away. I could be wrong, but I find it really odd that she wouldn't call the police initially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Randy Moss' attorney indicated that the woman requesting a restraining order against him injured a finger in their "consensual horseplay." Moss isn't expected to face criminal charges, and doesn't have to appear in court for his January 28th hearing in Florida. He and the woman have known each other for 11 years, and the woman hasn't accused Randy of hitting her, but she reportedly got x-rays on her injured finger that came back negative. How she injured the finger is unknown, but "getting Randy" is starting to take on a whole new meaning. Source: Providence Journal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
