I won't say friend, because she's not a friend. She's a troublemaker, hence the court case.
But I wasn't expecting this. Another friend of DD's got a subpoena, too, so at least she won't be alone.
Never had to deal with this before!!!

It has to do with drinking, taking a video, and distributing said video. I don't think I have to explain what is on the video. It's not full-on, but it is compromising.  My DD saw the video, talked to the victim, and was with a friend who went to pick up the victim. She had given a statement to the police when it happened, and surrendered her phone at the time. |

Oh man, what a tough situation. Hopefully the case will be settled before trial. You have my thoughts. |

I feel bad that your DD has to go through all this. You should be proud of her, standing up for her friend (the victim). My heart goes out to the victim. If it's what I'm assuming, she will never get past it.  |

If it's what I'm assuming, she will never get past it. Me, too. She's a bit nervous, which is to be expected! I am very proud of her. Unfortunately, this is the second time one of her friends was in a compromising position. I feel for the victim, too. She pretty much blacked out, so hopefully, there is not as much trauma as there could be. But I don't know. SaveSave |

Please tell your daughter to just go to court, be honest, ask the attorney asking her questions (whichever side is questioning her) to explain a question if she doesn't understand it, and to understand that her only responsibility is to be there and to be honest -- if the case is not resolved in a way that she hopes for, that is not her fault or responsibility. She is fulfilling 100% of her responsibility by being there.
I would also tell her not to talk to other people about the case, and would tell you the same thing. There are a variety of ways in which statements you make out of court can be used in court, and it is better that your daughter and you now save telling the story for the time when your daughter is on the stand.

epeanymous - that's exactly what I told her. I said she is probably being called as a corroborating witness, since she was not involved first-hand. There's not much that I know about the case, just the basics. And her friends know more than I do. That's why I didn't include any specific details here, and no one knows me here, so I figured I could post this and not worry too much. And I won't be sharing any details ever, just an update if anyone asks.

SaveSaveI'm sorry I wasn't clear. I was meaning hopefully there's a guilty plea. Good for the victim's Mom for being proactive! And for your daughter for helping the victim. They will all be in my prayers! |

flute4peace - I gotcha, I misunderstood! Yeah, I hope everyone will be 'happy' with the outcome (not the right word, but I can't think of it right now!)

I seriously doubt it will. The victim's mom is quite determined. SaveSaveIs this a criminal case or a civil case? If it is a criminal case, and your DD has been subpoenaed by the state, there may be a victim/witness coordinator or liaison you can contact if you have questions. Also if it's a criminal case, it's not really up to the victim's mother whether the case will be resolved with a plea. |

I meant determined in that I misunderstood the original comment on this, to be settled before it goes to trial. SaveSave |
