Re: a prosecutor wants me to testify against my mom for a murder against my dad.
If you fail to testify you may be held in civil contempt.
Civil contempt typically carries up to one year in jail. If you
are indigent counsel undersigned suggests that you contact the
prosecutor and your mother's attorney and tell them that you want
a lawyer appointed to secure your rights. SINCERELY YOURS
