Q: Can a marriage certificate be legal proof of birth?
A woman (and her friend a Uniformed NYPD Patrol Officer who spends all of his time protecting her) is falsely accusing me of murdering her sister, who this woman claims to have a birth name of Amy L. Walker, in 1986. The woman is using my marriage certificate of a marriage I entered with a prisoner in 1989, using an alias identity of Amy L. Walker I created when I was a fugitive from justice. The name on the Marriage Certificate is Amy L. Walker. "Amy L. Walker" is my late sister's married name who died in 1968. Stated simply, the Amy L. Walker on the Marriage Certificate is a person I made up, using some of my late sister's pedigree information. I want to sue this woman for per se slander. There has been no admission of guilt and cannot be under CPL 160.50.
