A: your question is factually based.......what was damage? any record? what court? what judge)

you need to contact criminal lawyer to talk to DA and if you do not want to testify to share that with them..........of course that does not mean they will not file. But maybe to advised DA you will take 5th (since if you told the truth that you started it that would change who they file against.

A: see my answer a few minutes ago to same question
