Re: tree liability
I must say that your question and comments, make you seem very naive. I would have expected him to say whatever he thinks will cause you more harassment and upset. In that case, it is prudent for you to have a witness on those occaisions you are in his presence, and for most of your day. It is likely that he will claim that you are lying or exagerrating. The more corroboration you have the less likely. Lastly, you contact the D.A. on those occaisions, and promptly give him your story. Then bring him into court, requesting a contempt citation.
