Chicago, IL asked in Criminal Law and Domestic Violence for Illinois

Q: I have false charges against me that were put on me strictly to shush me as a witness in my girlfriend's burglar. Help?

My girlfriend was advised by her jailhouse lawyer brother to somehow get or stage a domestic charge against me so that I couldn't be called as a witness in her now closed burglary case or come forward and she did a good job and I'm afraid the courts won't face the embarrassment of being manipulated and having the law used against them by using me as a pawn and making it biast for me to be called to testify by staging domestic battery charges. I need help although the truth is plain to see and should prevail. I have a 5,000.00 bond at stake as well.
