I have been involved in the treatment off and on of a patient for about 5 or 6 years.
He got himself into a jam and somehow I am being dragged into it. I do not even know the specific nature of the jam since nobody has revealed the specifics to me. But he has a public defender who has been contacting me and recently told me they want me in NB to testify about his treatment. This is a parole violation hearing and again I'm not even sure what was violated. I already sent my records to them and had conversations on the phone.
I do not know if he murdered someone or if he's been arrested for selling kilos of cocaine to kids. I offered to do testimony on zoom but prosecutor wants me live in person. I'm putting up roadblocks because I don't want to take the time and energy to go there and I don't even know what this is all about. Any advice on how i can get out of going there live ? Should I force them to subpoena me? Why would the public defender want me there as a potentially pissed off witness?
