give me the money or I'll give your kids AIDS

Some man (heaven forbid what his name is) who is a father of two allegedly attempted to extort money from families by threatening that he would inject their children with AIDS if they did not pay up. He targeted a total of 18 victims, some of which were his family friends, friends of his children, his former colleague and his doctor. He demanded from $6 000 to $105 000. On some occasions, families paid him $50 000. His defense is that he was  more than $150 000 in debt excluding his mortgage. That's not gonna cut it mister. If this guy gets let off in our much out of tuned court of law, I'm gonna inject someone's kid with AIDS.
