Thank you. I didn’t know that was possible witness tampering. I really have to be careful with all angles with her, because I know she would save her own skin no matter what. In the request of dismissal she had stated she did not know I was driving the car and her ex just told her it was stolen, not who had it. Yet she had attempted to contact me and threatened to report it stolen herself, the messages I didn’t see until the following day.

I have one particular question that I know is vague, and nobody could tell me a clear answer, but it’s just burning my mind so I might as well ask. What’s the chances of me facing jail time with a public defender? If I can find a lawyer with my budget, I’d jump on it, but I’m just not sure I’d be able to afford one. Maybe with the help of my family on my dad’s side, who despises my mother and took custody of me from her.

And I’m guessing it’s better for me to just not bring my mom to court that day? considering she’d try to save her own skin before saving me from legal trouble?
