Refusal To Give Witness Statement
On NYE I dropped a friend off at her house and witnessed a violent crime. She also gave my name and number to the police as she knows I saw what happened.
I initially agreed to give a statement but have since found out the family name involved and decided against it - think the police were a bit peeved, which is understandable. They tried to convince me and said all the family had provided statements (agaisnt one of the sons)
I told the police it was a family feud which will no doubt be patched up and I didnt want my name associated with it.
Question: I am a taxi driver and witnessed this crime whilst in my taxi. Even though the police wouldnt have given my name they may've told the family a taxi driver is prepared to give a statement. As this is a small town it wouldnt take too many guesses.
Think I'm between a rock and a hard place now. If I dont give a statement the family may be upset and if I do then the defendant will!
