There are lots of people throwing around terminology in this thread without knowing what they're talking about.

Hopefully no one uses this thread for advice as to what to do in a similar situation.

Responding to just the last post, Toadrax, you might want to look up the Oklahoma Rules of Evidence and see what they have to say about "declarations against interest."

(not that that'd really be of much use [if that's all you have] to you considering the burden on the plaintiff for proving fraud).

-- and that's all I've got to say about that.
