Florida prosecutors employed the now-famous term “Delay, Deny, Depose,” dropping a felony complaint against a woman reportedly threatening her health insurance company after being denied a claim.
Records reveal that earlier this month, against 42-year-old Briana Boston, prosecutors abandoned the threats to carry out a mass shooting or act of terrorism. Prosecutors could not explain why they withdrew the prosecution, but it most certainly related at least in part to Boston’s lack of criminal record and her lack of ambition to really carry out the claimed threat.
According to NewsNation, her attorney Jim Headley stated on her first appearance, “My client is 42, married mother of three.” Never had any convictions or criminal charges.
Per an order registered with the court, Boston had been out on bond since mid-December and allowed to attend school and medical appointments for her children.
Boston’s remarks followed the assassination of the CEO of UnitedHealthcare.
On December 10, the FBI advised the Lakeland Police Department about a local lady who had threatened BlueCross BlueShield employee during a recorded phone call. According a likely cause arrest affidavit, Boston had phoned regarding a recent refused medical insurance claim. Boston supposedly declared at the end of the call “Deny, Delay, Depose.” You people come next.
Handwritten on the cartridge casings from the gunshots killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City, investigators apparently found the words “deny, defend,” and “depose.” Alleged gunman Luigi Mangione, who was apprehended following a large-scale manhunt, penned a manifesto raging against medical corporations.
Lakeland police went to Boston’s house to interview her. She apparently acknowledged having threatened the other line member. Boston said she apologized; she does not carry any weapons and does not endanger anyone.
“Boston further stated the healthcare companies played games and deserved karma from the world because they are evil,” police said.
Following Thompson’s murder, insurance companies have hired personal protection and removed web biographies about executives.
