Re: A legal Q/ someone may know the answer.
Are they aware of who the complainant is?

I would let the prosecutor know about said card arriving before the trial. Let them decide how to use it and if it is worth following up. Let the legal experts deal with it, they have the training that we don't, but do let them know about it. xxx

Re: A legal Q/ someone may know the answer.
Oh yes they are aware of the complaints and this is their way of trying to get things dropped. It happened 20yrs ago and it worked but I think they are in for a surprise this time and I will be informing the nice police lady as soon as we hit home. She was not pleased when they did a phone call just after IT was arrested and charged.

Re: A legal Q/ someone may know the answer.
Sending a card would be considered making contact. And may even be construed as making a threat in the sense of "we know where you live". Anyone closely connected with the charged person making the contact would also be considered to be making the contact on the accused's behalf. Pretty serious to interfere with witnesses before a court case and would seriously hurt the defense case. Contempt of Court is a possible charge against the person breaching any order to not make contact. My advice would be to make a complaint to Police mentioning the word "harassment" as a way to get the person making contact to back off. DO NOT, in any way, make contact back to the person who sent the card. Any reserve contact would only contaminate any possibility of Police action against the person making the no contact order.Dot wrote:If a person is told NOT to contact another person that has laid a criminal charge and that person does make contact....

Re: A legal Q/ someone may know the answer.
I am not the complainant nor the accused but I know all concerned. I have been in contact with the police on this issue for the past 20yrs and I know the tactics of the accused and the card sending is one of their ploys to get the charges dropped. They take no notice of orders but they might this time..
I have no intention of uttering one word to the card senders not one, I shall be saving that for then IT is convicted.

Re: A legal Q/ someone may know the answer.
Had a very good talk to the nice police lady today. She said the card is ok as long as NO mention of the impending court case is mentioned in any way. These police are no dummies, she has these two nailed down pat in her assessment for sure, I was impressed and feel very confident in what the final outcome will be.

Re: A legal Q/ someone may know the answer.
A note of caution ...
You write, "He was TOLD not to make contact ..."
But Dot, "TOLD" is only of value if it was '... an official direction' preferably in writing.
I am unsure if an officer made the comment in passing, it would have any judicial impact.
So ... Were they warned officially and preferably in writing to not contact?
