WrestleReunion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WrestleReunion is the premier professional wrestling and fan convention, founded by Sal Corrente (aka "The Big Cheese") in 2005. The first WrestleReunion event occurred January 29, 2005, at
Doubletree Hotel in Tampa, Florida. The attendance was 450. Read more on Wikipedia
Mr. Rodems, in his own words...
WrestleReunion 4"It is odd that Eric Bischoff, whose well-documented incompetence caused the demise of WCW, should have any comment on the outcome of the WrestleReunion, LLC lawsuit.
The expert report Bischoff submitted in this case bordered on illiteracy, and Bischoff was not even called to testify by Clear Channel/Live Nation because Bischoff perjured himself in a deposition in
late-July 2009 before running out and refusing to answer any more questions regarding his serious problems with alcohol and sexual deviancy at the Gold Club while the head of WCW."
Billy Graham
"To even sit in the room and question him was one of the most distasteful things I've ever had to do in 17 years of practicing law. In fact, we understand that Bischoff was afraid to even come to Tampa and testify because he would have to answer questions under oath for a third time about his embarrassing past."

Jake the Snake Roberts"The sad state of professional wrestling today is directly attributable to this snake oil salesman, whose previous career highlights include selling meat out of the back of a truck, before he filed bankruptcy and had his car repossessed. Today, after running WCW into the ground, Bischoff peddles schlock like "Girls Gone Wild" and reality shows featuring B-Iisters."
Cowboy Bob Orton Jr."Sal Corrente, on the other hand, has always been an honorable man, and he delivered on every promise and paid every wrestler while staging the three WrestleReunlon
events. Unlike the cowardly Bischoff, Mr. Corrente took the stand In this case. Although his company did not prevail, Sal Corrente proved that he was man enough to fight to the finish --something
Bischoff could never understand."

In the matter of Gillespie vs. Barker, Rodems & Cook, PA, et. al, case no. 05-7205 Circuit Civil Court, Hillsborough County, Florida, Ryan Christopher Rodems made
a sworn affidavit under the penalty of perjury about the following telephone call.
On March 3, 2006, Mr. Rodems called Neil Gillespie at home about setting a hearing on Plaintiff’s Motion To Disqualify Counsel. During the call Mr. Rodems threatened to reveal client confidences
learned during his firm’s representation of Gillespie. An argument ensued. A partial recording of the phone conversation is here in .wav format.

Mr. Rodems made a sworn affidavit under the penalty of perjury that falsely named the Honorable Richard A. Nielsen in an "exact quote" attributed to Mr. Gillespie,
putting the trial judge into the controversy. The Tampa Police Department recently determined that the sworn affidavit submitted by Mr. Rodems to the court about an "exact quote" attributed to
Gillespie was not right and not accurate.
Initially Mr. Gillespie had a good working relationship with Judge Nielsen and his judicial assistant Myra Gomez. Gillespie attended the first hearing telephonically September 26, 2005 and prevailed
on Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss and Strike. After Rodems’ stunt Judge Nielsen did not manage the case properly, favored Defendants in rulings, and responded to Gillespie sarcastically from the
bench. Judge Nielsen later recused himself as trial judge.
Mr. Rodems provided written consent to Gillespie to record their telephone calls, see Notice Of Mr. Rodems’ Written Consent To Record Telephone Conversations With Him, submitted December 29, 2006.

Tampa Police: Mr. Rodems was not right or accurate
Mr. Rainesberger responded to Gillespie by letter February 22, 2010. Mr. Rainesberger established that Mr. Rodems was not right or accurate in representing to the court as an "exact quote" language that clearly was not an exact quote. He also concluded that Rodems’ misrepresentation did not, in his judgment, rise to the level of criminal perjury. Mr. Rainesberger suggested Gillespie consider the definition of "material matter" in Florida Statues section 837.011(3)(2009). The letter is here in PDF.

Mr. Gillespie replied March 11, 2010, that he considered the definition of "material matter" in Florida Statues section 837.011(3)(2009). According to the statute
"Material matter" means any subject, regardless of its admissibility under the rules of evidence, which could affect the course or outcome of the proceeding. Whether a matter is material in a given
factual situation is a question of law.
Placing the name of Judge Nielsen into an "exact quote" attributed to Gillespie "could affect the course or outcome of the proceeding" because of the personal nature of one’s name, especially the
name of the presiding judge. In this case it affected the proceedings.
Mr. Gillespie noted Florida case law supports a finding of perjury against Mr. Rodems because it meets the definition of "material matter" in section 837.011(3) Florida Statutes (2009).
1. Materiality is not element of crime of perjury, but rather is a threshold issue that the court must determine prior to trial, as with any other preliminary matter. State v. Ellis, 723 So.2d 187
(1998), rehearing denied.
2. Misrepresentations which tend to bolster credibility of a witness, whether successful or not, are regarded as "material" for purposes of supporting a perjury
conviction. Kline v. State, App. 1 Dist, 444 So.2d 1102 (1984), petition for review denied 451 So.2d 849
3. Misrepresentations which tend to bolster the credibility of witness, whether they are successful or not, have that potential and are regarded as "material" for purposes of perjury conviction.
Soller v. State, App. 5 Dist., 666 So.2d 992 (1996).
4. Representation is "material" under perjury statute if it has mere potential to affect resolution of main or secondary issue before court. Soller v. State, App. 5 Dist., 666 So.2d 992
(1996).
As of today Mr. Rainesberger has not responded to Gillespie’s March 11, 2010 letter.

Rodems misled Mr. Bajo, the JNC, and the Governor
Ryan RodemsMr. Gillespie learned on February 24, 2010 that Rodems repeated his perjury in a letter dated December 28, 2009 to Pedro F. Bajo, Chair of the 13th Circuit JNC, and attached a copy of his verified pleading to the letter as "Exhibit 4". (copy enclosed). Mr. Rodems did this to bolster his credibility like in the lawsuit. This is what Mr. Rodems wrote on page 2:
"[Mr. Gillespie] Threatened to "slam" me "against the wall;" as a result, I requested that a bailiff be present at all hearings. (Exhibit "4"). As a precaution, I
also scheduled Mr. Gillespie's deposition in a building requiring visitors to pass through a metal detector;"
Clearly Mr. Rodems is referring to an actual assault, not a metaphor. Mr. Rodems mislead Mr. Bajo, the JNC, and ultimately the Governor.
Mr. Rodems’ letter is part of the JNC file sent to Rob Wheeler, General Counsel to the Governor. Since the letter may be considered by the Governor in evaluating Mr. Rodems for appointment as judge,
this matter now concerns the business and citizens of the State of Florida.
The letter and attachments are here in PDF.

Perjury on Wikipedia
Perjury, also known as forswearing, is the willful act of swearing a false oath or affirmation to tell the truth, whether spoken or in writing, concerning matters
material to a judicial proceeding.
Perjury is considered a serious offense as it can be used to usurp the power of the courts, resulting in miscarriages of justice. In the United States, for example, the general perjury statute under
Federal law defines perjury as a felony and provides for a prison sentence of up to five years Read more here
