Q: I’m fearful I cannot defend myself to continue motion for CPO What is your advice
A petition for a CPO was granted to me but to continue the CPO I need to go to court This is for intimidation and harassment by person who unlawfully entered my apartment and is trying to intimidate me to tell the courts I lied and drop the charges The intimidation and harassment has been ongoing since then I am fearful and terrified of this person The next pretrial hearing is 12/22/20 at which time a motion will be brought for a NCO Until then I need coverage of the CPO I’m fearful I will not be emotionally capable of defending myself for the CPO court date of 11/18/20
A: The person who is harassing you is REALLY CLOSE TO being charged with a Felony, entitled "Intimidation of Witness," and if he comes anywhere near you, I would notify the police immediately. He cannot legally harass you or bother you because you have testimony that will hurt him.
