[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, why are you afraid of a subpoena? If you have helpful testimony to provide, why wouldn’t you provide it? If you really want to help her, that’s one way to do it. Credible witnesses who support her claims are invaluable. Whatever you and the other neighbors can talk about based on your first-hand observations is extremely important. Do what’s right, even if it’s hard. [/quote]

My friend who I'm helping, like anyone, isn't perfect. My friend's lawyer said that cross examination is a real problem and works against victims like my friend. [/quote]

Ah.  So piecing together the scenario from OP's borderline incoherent posts:

- The police, when called, did not find sufficient evidence to take action against the husband, even when the friend provided “video evidence.”

- The friend is being accused of something that could land her in jail, and she is in legal jeopardy because of claims her husband has made.

- The husband has the right to stay in the house and has custody of the children.

- OP apparently knows information about her friend that could adversely affect the case, such that her friend’s lawyer is nervous about OP testifying.

- Despite OP (and, to hear her tell it, the “entire street” taping all interactions with this couple, no one has come up with any video evidence that can be used against the husband.

I obviously have no idea what is really going on with this family.  But it’s entirely possible that OP doesn’t either.  The police and justice system could be corrupt, and the husband could be manipulating everyone.  Or there may be a lot more to the story.
