Former Axanar Director Won't Accept ‘Sweetheart Deal’
Peters Says Robert Meyer Burnett is Not Smart Enough to See Peters Has a ‘Bulletproof Case’

- Don’t owe a dime: Peters said he doubted Burnett was “smart enough to actually take the deal,” in which he said Burnett wouldn’t have to pay a dime.
- A setup: As we reported this week, the sweetheart deal actually sets Burnett up for a followup suit in which he’d lose a major defense.
- Almost no documentation backing up his claims was filed along with his legal complaint agains Burnett, especially proving his payments to Burnett were actually loans.
- Suing a Californian in Georgia: Peters still hasn’t explained how he expects to bring suit in Georgia state court against Burnett, a California resident.
A reasonable offer: Peters confidently predicted a Georgia judge would award him attorneys fees and court costs, in addition to damages, “when he sees the case and how reasonable our settlement offer was.”
- Not really a settlement: The Georgia attorney we consulted with described it as “bullshit from a settlement perspective, obviously meant to make a non-lawyer think it is a settlement, but it really is not.”
