Q: I wrote a letter to the DA that I dont want to testify in a dom. violence case against my ex bf. Can I get in trouble?
what other info. can I provide you with, so you can better understand my case? I want to help him but at the same time I do not want to incriminate myself because I didn't do anything wrong. I did write a letter but I am hesitant about sending it because I don't want to have any problems with the law. Thank you.
A:
you should not get in trouble for just not wanting to testify\
more info is needed
you should have a lawyer advise the DA you are not going to testify.

A: If you disobey a subpoena from the DA to appear at trial, you can get into trouble.
