Re: What Now
You will most likely be contacted by the D.A.'s office and you can tell them how you plan to testify. Your friend needs to get an attorney, who will most likely also have an investigator contact you, and will find out how you will testify. This information will be helpful in persuading the D.A. to dismiss the case. Tell your friend not to be concerned if, in spite of doing all this, it appears that it's going to go to trial. Many times the D.A. is playing "chicken" and hoping that the defendant swerves first, i.e. pleads guilty rather than go to trial.
