Q: Me and my fiancé got into an argument and I was driving around the block following him and I thought he used a fire aloo
Me and my fiancé got into an argument and I was driving around the block following him and I thought he used a fire arm towards my vehicle but he didn’t & I panicked and called police, he was arrested two days later. I been trying to figure out what to do and how to drop charges, I had been trying to find the District Attorney on the case , and I finally did and sent emails and left a voicemail, and shortly after that I had sheriffs department at my door with a subpoena for court. I don’t want to testify I don’t want to go to court against my fiancé, I’m not being forced. What do I do?
A: The reality is that once police and the prosecutor get involved, you lose control over what happens. You can be compelled to testify, and if it comes down to it, the prosecutor will request a material witness warrant for you.Will they do it? Who knows. A lot depends on not only what your fiance is accused of now, but also his criminal history.
