Q: Can a person with a pending court case for battery get a no contact order against the accuser?
My friend has a pending case for battery. However the accuser instigates every situation. Then will say he wants to talk it out only to pick a fight and then call the police on my friend. He calls, texts, emails, and shows up at his job saying that he is going to get my friend fired. But when the police show up he becomes the victim and is helpless,which is not the case. He intentionally creates situations just to be able to get more charges against my friend. Can my friend get a no contact order against this man?
A: Obviously, your friend would be wise to not continue to meet up with the accuser. Problem solved.
