$300,000 on a $10,000 loan?

That's hard to believe. But if you bleed a guy that much, of course he's going to rat you out. If it's true, it's greed that will put Melia away, plain and simple.

But there's something about this case that seems a bit off to me. The witness is a real lowlife, no question about that. And far be it from me to defend any of these criminal scumbags, but for the record, Melia's son didn't do anything I wouldn't have done to a guy who held my elderly father captive at gunpoint.
