My friend was arrested on IMO bullshit charges for malicious harrassment because on the metro bus he made a couple jokes about the VT massacre and some dumb racist jokes right after. Some freshman overheard snippets of the conversation and told his mom and his mom told the police, who in turn arrested my buddy, and since I'm the main witness they questioned me. No police people have contacted me since so this is really sudden.
I'm leaving for spain on friday for 2 weeks and the court date is during this time and they say they'll arrest me if I don't show up.
do you think I'll be able to either just give a written statement or have the trial moved or is the vacation fucked?
