I think you should change the thread title to "under the BRIDGE"

HAHA.

But seriously... I have a question...

If s he was subpoenaed, is she allowed to say she won't testify/participate in this investigation? It sounds kind of fucky/criminal to me.

A subpoena (pronounced /səˈpiːnə/) is commonly defined as a written command to a person to testify before a court or be punished.
More accurately, a subpoena is the conditionalthreat of punishment made by a governmentalauthority. It is attached to a command, so that if the recipient does not do as commanded then he may be punished. Subpoenas are associated with common law legal systems.
