Got Subpoenaed?

I got subpoenaed for a case concerning my dad. He foolishly let a tenant borrow his car and we had no idea. After he mentioned it, I told him to have her bring it back.

He texted and she said she would bring it the next day, but that day came and went with no car returned. I called the police and reported it as stolen because she then would not reply anymore.

The police visited Dad and took down the information to file a report. After that the tenant left me a voicemail that I had nerve to file a stolen car report as he let her borrow it when her car was having issues. I did not reply.

On the next Monday a policewoman called me and told me that the tenant claims she owns the car and has the title. I said that is not what she left me a voicemail about, so I emailed the voicemail to the officer.

It was a long process, but the title was fraudulently signed without a matching signature. So, charges were filed against her. Since I got the voicemail, I got subpoenaed to appear in court when her case came up.

The DA called me and said they were thinking to do a plea deal (since the voicemail was key in prosecuting her as well as the fraudulent signature) and wondered what I would change on the proposed deal. I added more community service but no contact with the elderly to scam more. The tenant accepted the plea deal, and I no longer had to appear in court.

I realized when a was subpoenaed, I would have gone over all my memories and notes and emails sent to the police of the event so it would be clear in my mind to testify. It’s no big deal if you feel prepared.
