The following morning, Marshall and Tao met with caddell. During that meeting, Caddell repeatedly insisted that Rojas should be reported to law enforcement authorities. Even after Marshall explained the sad circumstances facing Rojas, Caddell was unmoved. “You can’t let something like this slide, Jermell. Come on, She stole more than $30,000 from us. She deserves what she gets.” Marshall made one last attempt to change Caddell’s mind. He offered to repay one-half of the stolen funds immediately and sign a promissory note obligating him to repay the remainder within two years if Caddell would agree not to press charges. After several moments, Caddell responded by indicating that he “would think about it.”
