Witness Intimidation

I read an article by Mike McPhee of the Denver Post titled lawyer arrested on witness intimidation charge. This article was about a defense lawyer who was arrested for intimidating a 16 year old witness. This really made me wonder about the people who people look up to. If we think that these people are upstanding citizens but they pull this kind of stuff then who can children really trust. It also brings up the question of how many other people has this happened to that never let anyone know because they were afraid of what might happen if they told. If this happened to me I wouldn’t know what to do so I ask you put yourself in the shoes of that 16 year old girl and think about what you would do.
