My question involves criminal law for the state of: Illinois
Hello there.I'd share my story and I will be thankful if anyone could give me an advice.Couple of weeks ago I broke up with my gf after 2 years.On the next day she called me and told me that she has a new boyfriend who is illegal and he is going to pay her $5000 so they can get married and he could get a green card.I got very upset and angry and I tried to fix the things between us, but she kept refusing.Anyways.. few days later her new boyfriend called me and said that if I report him to homeland security or I go to police he would send people to kill my brother.That pissed me off so badly I took a kitchen knife and went to his house to scratch his car,just to scare him.I went there with my father and on my way to the car he went out of the house,I got scared and took off with my car.Five minutes later I got pulled over and arrested.He is saying that I tried to kill him,which is not true,I wasnt even close to him at the moment.The thing is there were 2 more guys with him that are his friends and could say anything to help him.
