I'm a little surprised that the reaction to these newest texts on the Board seems to be: "there must have been something more". As you say, the texts were not only clearly threatening her, they were very clearly threatening her kids (he PUT THE KIDS PICTURES IN THEM). How much more reprehensible can you be?
Let me put it this way for the Board. Suppose you got a text threatening you. What would be your reaction? Well, I would probably not be very happy and I might explore legal options.
Now: Suppose that the text is making a very serious THREAT TO YOUR KIDS and has the sender the financial means and dark history to be taken seriously? I won't say what I would or wouldn't do (and, I think it is hard to know until you have personally walked in those shoes), but suffice it to say my reaction would be 100x that of being personally threatened. I imagine the reaction for many would range from moving heaven and earth to see that person behind bars to more extreme (and regrettable for all) actions.
Surely the target (the second accuser) will press criminal charges, wouldn't any of you? In my mind these latest texts alone were enough for BB to drop him, especially if he knew criminal charges were coming.
Even if you're as innocent as baby Jesus and your accuser is a lying whore with an agenda, you don't threaten her with a friggen text message no matter how much righteous rage you're feeling. The only possible defense now is brain damage.
There's some expansive defining of the word "threat" going on, both here and elsewhere.
