I have a very important question and hope that someone out there has the answer... Does any one know where I can look for answers to the Virginia Law as to whether a mother has to testify against her son... He abused her and the police were called by the mother but she is not emotionaly able to testify against him she doesn't want to press charges she only wants him to get help for his anger and alcohol problems as well as his deep depression.....Does she have the right to NOT testify.... The prosecutor has turned her statement all around and the young man could be facing two years in proison, what a shame for someone who needs help not jail...I know pushing your mother is a horrible thing to do but there is much more to the story and I am not at liberty to discuss this,Please can someone answer my question? Does she have the right to NOT teatify or Does anyone know of a sit where I might look this kind of info up...Thank you for your kindness and understanding.
I think you would be best directing these sort of questions towards some sort of virginian legal aid service. Many regions have legal information hotlines and other similar services. However, if you are set on researching it yourself I can tell you that testimonies are dealt with in the law of evidence as well as the law of civil procedure. I cannot speak for Virginia, but in many jurisdictions of the world you are presumed to be compellable as a witness. Sorry I can't help you more. -PullUpYourSocks 04:14, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
