Court date soon

[VictoriaGotaSecret]

Idk if this really fits here but I guess it could sort of go under more than one category.

I have a court date coming up soon and depending if I'm allowed to go(should, its against me) or not. The whole thing is over an accident by me. Before I had my deposition I was told what to say and was forced to lie. I was afraid and knew that if I told the truth I would be yelled at or hit either at home or on the way so I did(lie). But I'm so tired of lies over this stupid case just to keep the person I hate most happy, yet I'm still afraid of what will happen to me if I tell the truth.

What should I do?

Wait why are you going to mother effing court? I can help you to a certain legal extent if I know some details.

Okay if you tell the truth, you won't be arrested for obstruction of justice and/or perjury. You can also ask for protection from the court telling that your parents told you to lie and they will hand you over Child Protection Service (CPS). If you lie you will arrested and rot in prison :(. Your choice. (Show this to the court if you can prove if this can be used as evidence)

I'm not sure if you really want to hear this. but, I've found that is better to be honest and up front about things. Why ? If you get caught in a lie that discredits anything you have to say or have said. Seriously I hope all goes well for you

A was using an rc car in the road like 3 years ago and a woman came down the road and hit the car. I tried steering away so she wouldn't hit it and hurt herself, but as a watched the car I noticed her turn towards the car after I tried avoid the whole thing. She hit it, broke it, then I went inside like I was told. SINCE then I've been told that the woman faked her fall after catching herself, and claims breaking her arm but yet she still rode the bike home and she never went to the hospital until like three days after. I honestly have no idea what's really the truth except for what I saw and that's just her hitting the car and falling.

She tried suing....

[AuthorX303720]

Honestly, she can't sue you unless your 18 (20-21 in some parts of this country). Ask the court to show medical and insurance records of the broken arm. If she cannot show records of the "broken" arm then the case should be labeled "dismissed" If possible meet with the lady and tell her that your sorry that you were driving the car in the road and tell her that you did not know the extent of the injuries. If you settle it like this then you should ask to label the case "settled out of court". Please post if you has any questions.

if your caught lying it could land you in big trouble. tell the truth and if they ask why you lied in the depostition just say you were told to and afraid to tell the truth.

What was the lie you had to tell?

[dontfiguremeout]

You really should tell the truth, because the worst thing ever in a case is let the guilty person be innocent and let the innocent person be guilty. It's not fair for the innocent person, and really not fair for you to have to keep lying! And if you are scared of the person, then say it in court while you have whiteness' what you are afraid of happening, and they will also do something about that too! Hope you have a safe court tomorrow!

Well, lass, you did the best thing you could. Never be afraid to tell the truth. Honestly, I would tell you to follow AuthorX303720's advice. You don't have to stay there and put yourself in harm's way. Tell the lawyer and ask him to help you out, telling someone about the situation is the best thing you can do. It's good that you told the truth, but now the best thing you can do is make sure you're safe.
