Backstory: 4 years ago I witnessed an accident in which a man died. He was run over by a trailer driven by the man who was dating his ex wife. Dude on the bike was in a local biker gang who deals in weapons and drugs. It was a complete accident. The man on the bike swerved at the truck, causing the truck to dive away into the right lane(4lane road). When he dove right, the back end of the car trailer swerved left, as it did this the man on the bike lost control , laid down his bike, then the trailer went over his head.

Today I was contacted by someone claiming to be the dead man's daughter. She claimed to have the police report and started accusing me of taking money to give a statement which lauded the innocence of the man driving the truck. She then implied that this wasn't over, and that I'm as guilty as the "killer" who kept out of jail. Also kept.him from losing everything in a wrongful death lawsuit.

I told her nothing, and simply said my deposition and police report would suffice to answer any questions she had.

I don't know what to do. Do I load up on ammo? Do I contact the defense attorney who handled the case? Do I just leave it and ignore it? Call the police department and ask why my information was given out to apparently anyone who wanted it? Help.

Learn these words

"I think you have the wrong person. I know nothing about this. But sorry for your loss"

you were listed as a witness on the accident report--public record.

Call the cops to tell them you've been threatened and let them handle it. If you're scared of biker gangs, put "paging Darth vader" in your title--he may be able to help.

call the police and let them know so they have as much info as possible in case things start escalating.

Offer her yourself. Make a deal with her that she can kill you but not hurt anyone else in your family

I'd certainly report the conversdation to the police just to get ahead of anything that may be coming down the road.

Wel, step one is obviously "post about it on the OT." So now that you have that covered, we can get down to business.

I would buy a Sons of Anarchy cut and wear to a meeting with the biker gang as a sign you're one of them.

Well, I assumed digging through 20 responses like this for the one nugget that might help me was worth it.

Nervous would be the adjective I would use.
