Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
can you file a witness tampering claim in superior (county) court or does this have to be filed in federal court?

Charges would be filed in the same court in which the case was pending in which the witness tampering occurred. However, witness tampering is a crime. The District Attorney or United States Attorney must file charges, not you.

I agree with Mr. McCormick. Witness tampering is a crime, not a civil cause of action.
