My question involves police conduct in the State of:
Hi, Not sure I am posting it in the right place. What if a victim withholds information out of fear for their life if they had to testify it?
The victim told the police, that the perpetrator's friend had a gun the night of incident (they used the gun to scare the victim), when police asked the victim if she knew where the gun came from she said no, but she did know that the gun came from the perpetrator.
The victim lied out of fear of the perpetrator finding out that she told the police. She was so scared, the gun was not even mentioned in the initial police report.
The case was closed due to other reasons. An RO case is still open.
The gun itself is illegal. The victim wants to fix it and tell the police the truth, but is scared, that she will get into trouble for lying initially and/or lose her credibility.
What happens if she tells the truth? Does it get her into trouble? Can she expect more protection (hard to get an RO so far) if she tells the truth?
Please advise,
Thank you!
