It doesn't matter what the intent is. She's a witness and trying to pull this shit is a huge no-no, as the judge rightly ruled. He should have known better.
- elicash 3y agoYour response doesn't contradict anything I wrote. I wrote that the judge was correct in sending him to jail for witness intimidation because they should apply the same standard they do in every other case. I just don't like the standard! Edit: Quick correction. I suppose your first sentence does disagree with my view on whether intent matters. But I'm pretty sure "intent" shows up in the statute. You also seem to disagree with the prosecutor who argued that intent DOES matter and that his intent here was to intimidate the witness.
