Wrong.
ex·tor·tion
/ikˈstôrSH(ə)n/
noun
- the practice of obtaining something, especially money, through force or threats.
From the original article:
Police docs show Kelly emailed Zeke's attorneys just days after
the altercation with AT LEAST 14 things he wanted from the running back
to stay quiet on the incident ...
including $500,000 cash.
That would be considered a threat for money.
It’s always funny to me how people go to googles dictionary for something within law
First off, your bold makes no sense
“Stay quiet” - first off, he was already interviewed and discussed this on national and local TV. So already, this sounds like BS.
Secondly, if this was extortion, a good attorney, I am sure, could have easily worked with this and got Zeke out of these demands
So which is it, did Zeke not give in to the demands and the guard made it public, or did the guard get what he wanted and still go forward?
Either way - it’s not extortion and won’t be going anywhere.
