Yes, and then there's the issue of what sounds like possible bad blood between him and HaB, he being the father of her oldest child, a pregnancy that he didn't want her to go ahead with, and him clearly not having anything to do with that child as HaB (in the braunschweger link) says she hasn't seen him for 15yrs or so. Could there be a grudge motive there? Is he best ignored, particularly since he has no interest in being called as a witness for the defence and we have no idea what was said in this email that might give his claim credence?
