He later called Ingram and informed him of "irregularities in which you [Ingram] participated" and stated they would not be airing the programme or authorising payment of the cheque. Ingram responded stating "I completely refute that obviously". Trial The defendants each pleaded not guilty to the charge of procuring the execution of a valuable security by deception.
