Q: The Father to my unborn twins, who is on parole assaulted me and charged with 3rd degree felony of C.F.V.
Does this mean that is parole will be revoked? There is an emergency space protective order put in place for myself. I'm still very scared that he will follow through with his death threats and hire someone to kill me, if he could not do it himself. I know that it is going to trial as I was informed today. Does this mean I have to testify on stand and relive this aweful memory once again?
A: I am terribly sorry to hear of your situation. Any new offense could be a violation of his parole and he will likely already have a HOLD to answer to the Pardon and Parole Board. A trial on the current offense can proceed in a variety of ways, but likely the prosecution will want you to testify to successfully prosecute. If you ever feel in danger, make sure your local police department and prosecuting attorney are aware.
