271	36	The Barratry Allegations	All allegedly illegal acts were subject to seven State Bar grievances, all dismissed. Walker testified Nicholson prepared him for deposition and told him 'buzz words to say' including 'barratry' and 'cold calling' — words he'd never heard before. Walker admitted he 'listened and did what my attorney said to do.' Santana wrote letter to Judge Starrett stating she was coerced into signing first affidavit by Nicholson and Favre. Audio recording confirms Nicholson/Favre pressure. Santana rejected Kassab's suggestion that Pohl set up barratry scheme ('The marketing firm is the one that hired me'). The $50,000 Santana payment was consideration under May 21, 2014 release agreement, predating both affidavits. Relevant Santana timeline: May 21, 2014 (release), Sept. 24, 2016 (first affidavit by Nicholson), Oct. 3, 2017 (coercion letter), Dec. 19, 2017 (retraction).
