My question involves criminal law for the state of: Colorado
I was rear-ended in a car accident and November, and the driver who hit me was issued a citation for careless driving. He plead not guilty and I have just received a subpoena to serve as a witness. Is there anyway I can testify beforehand and not at the trial? There are several reasons for this:
-The driver's father (the driver who hit me is a minor) was extremely obnoxious when he arrived at the scene of the accident. He yelled profanities directed at me and was threatening and I was scared to leave the car. I am honestly scared to ever see this person again.
-At the time of the trial, I will be nearly 37 weeks pregnant. I am afraid that the stress of going to trial will cause me to go into labor early. I got the subpoena in the mail about 45 minutes ago and my heart is still racing.
Is there anything I can do about this? I called the city attorney's office and am waiting for them to get back to me. I'm sure I could get a note from my doctor if it would make any difference. Please help, the last thing I want to do is go through this stress in my last few weeks of pregnancy!
Thank you.
