Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Wyoming
violated rights
i was asked by a prosecuter to change events of a story..i.e. lie and help them to get a life sentence on my husband. Also they went well over his right for speedy trial...in the end he was found not guilty. i have an email asking me to lie...do we have any recourse on this?

Re: violated rights
You should contact your state bar and file a bar complaint immediately.
Re: violated rights
Write a letter to the Judge who presided over your husband's sentencing detailing your allegations. Enclose a copy of the Email. Send a copy of everything to the WY Bar Association and the WY Attorney General in Cheyenne. Be sure you keep a copy of everything in your file.
Re: violated rights
You might be able to recover your costs of defending
your husband, and for any time or expenses you suffered.
Suborning perjury is not within the normal duties
of a prosecutor, so he/she should not retain his/her
immunity from suit.
