It seems to me that you say whatever gets you out of the situation at any given time. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out, since the court has apparently held you liable, whether or not you view yourself as such. As to Melissa, she has run her business into the ground, and alienated most everyone. It appears she has few options left.
