What happens if someone threatens me to drop the charges or not testify?
It is illegal to threaten a witness, whether it is before the crime is reported or during the prosecution of the case. Such a person is obstructing justice and is committing a crime. If this occurs to you, contact the prosecutor handling your case and the law enforcement officer in charge of your case immediately.
