Re: c/o

You need confer privately with an attorney now who can explain your options and how this should all play out; if you had one already they would have addressed this issue already. My gut instinct is that you've already lost your certification and you're testifying truthfully in trial, which is benefiting the DA, so someone would have to be out to get you to prosecute your for perjuring yourself in the earlier hearing. Get an attorney who can talk to the DA before the trial!
