Perry was interviewed for the article at his home in Wilmette . He compared himself to Richard Jewell , wrongly suspected of the Centennial Olympic Park bombing that summer , and said that he was arranging financing to buy his father-in-law 's share of the house and return to Nashville , where he could start his own law firm . " I will not allow one misguided police officer , one vengeful man , and a few low-life journalists to destroy what I 've taken years to build , " he told the reporter . He also threatened to file defamation suits against the former Michigan classmate who had accused him of assaulting her , '' The Tennessean '' newspaper ( whose spokesman told the '' Scene '' that neither Perry nor his lawyer had complained to the paper about the accuracy of its reporting on the case ) , and Bass Berry , although Perry 's lawyer said he did not think his client would follow through on those threats
