My son is the DEFENDANT in 3 cases were 2 brothers who committed the crime themselves have blamed my son for their actions.(but are not being caged and are listed as witnesss).I know that my son did not do this because my son was with me the night this happened. - Anyway 2 separate times one of these boys has threatened my son who is the defendant, an my other son who has NOTHING to do with these cases. Also my son the defendnt claims that this boy ran him off the road causing him to hit a tree. The boy conveniently sold his vehicle before the insurance or the officer could check it for damage, and so my son was charged with failure to control. 2 days later a M80 was dropped in my front yard at 3am, exploding and waking my neighbors and scaring me terribly. Police reports have been filed, but the judge said he could not file a restraining order as it wold jeopardize the felony case. Is this witness tampering even though my son is the defendant? Can we do anything about it?

Hello h:

Have him tell his lawyer, who will tell the judge, who will STOP it.

Of course the judge could issue a protection order, if he believed it, There must not be enough evidence.

1. A mother telling the court that the child did not do the crime is a weak witness, and often not believed, So I hope you have other witnesses besides you that will say he was at home.

Most likely the other two got a plea deal or some deal with the police to testify against your son, so at this point the police believe he did it.

What other evidence against your son, since just the statement of two other co defendants would not be enough.

Also serious issue with the story, so they sold the car, the police have them tell them who bought it, and they go there and look at it, just selling it does not stop them from looking at the evidence.

Who besides you or your son has seen or heard anyof the threats,

Another witness in one of the cases said the boy who committed the act had long hair. My son has never had long hair, further more a frien of the family had just given him a haircut just 2 weeks earlier. He would testify.

As for any other witnesses, my other son was in the car with my defendant son on both occasions when the threats were made. My other son was the one who told me about the threats oiginally, he is not a super big fan of his older brother, and would not lie for him.

The officer who investigated the crash refused to go see the new owner of the vehicle. He said he had a friend with a similar truck and that he felt the truck would have been to high off the ground to do the damage to my son's car based on his friends truck, not the actual truck that hit him. Further more on the actual truck the tow rings are 16.75 inches off the ground protruding from the front bumper. The damage on my son's car is 16.25-17 inches, which could easily be done when 2 vehicles are traveling down a bumpy gravel road. Suspension systems allow for that little of a difference.

So police would not investigate, you hire a PI or your own accident investigator to do it. That is what happens. Long hair , short hair, hope that is not all the evidence, don't mean wrong, but I have ( as a police officer) got calls for a 6 foot black man with a red cap breaking into a house, I get there to find a 5 foot mexican with a blue scarf around his head. Eye witnesses can be very poor evidece at times.

But this is what attorneys are for, and he needs one, Just being NOT GUILTY does not mean he can not be convicted.
