Scylla & Charybdis - The 68-Page Mapes Legal Memo By BummerDietz Why did Mapes submit a 68-page defense memo to CBS? Because Mapes' employment agreement likely has a termination provision similar to the Viacome template at the end of this post (from a standard Viacom executive employment agreement). The only way that Mapes can be fired without paying any severance is under the "felony misconduct" provisions. I've previously written about the felonies involved in forging, transferring or publishing the memos under Texas Penal Code 32.21. Likely, CBS/Viacom has some convincing evidence that she is the forger, or a conspirator with Burkett or Texans For Truth in the forgery. Viacom likley has to give her prior written notice of its belief that she has misbehaved, triggering a 10-day cure period. Mapes is likely using such formal notice and cure provision to rebut the CBS evidence that she has done a fraudulent act. Her 68 defense page memo is just such an attempt. All in all, Mapes is on the hotseat, and Viacom wants to fire her, without violating her contract.
