Re: criminal / domestic violence
The complainant can not help very much at this point. If the complainant recants their complaint, they would most likely face criminal charges for filing a false report or they could be charged with impeeding government administration or several other charges. The best you can do is get the person a very good lawyer and you could tell the D.A. that you do not want to testify but you will be subpoeniaed.
If you wish to discuss this matter further, I can be reached at [email protected] or at 516/746/4747.
