To think that if you have witnessed a crime you shouldnt have to leave your home?

Maybe I am just pissed off with my flatmate for leaving me in the lurch with a grand rent to pay. She witnessed a crime down our street. I told her not to worry about it but, she watches all these sodding crime shows and has just text me (from her room) to say that because she has to go to court she cant stay in the flat any longer. Im so fed up because if everyone did this wouldnt half the country be getting rehoused? Isnt she worrying over nothing?

oh dear, she really does have a rather overactive imagination ! I casework with victims and witnesses going to court for anything from a car park RTC to familial rape and murder. I have been doing my job for 4 years. The only cases where I have had witness intimidation have been domestic violence cases & cases where the offender and witnesses are well known to each other.

Most offenders don't have the inclination, interest or brains to try and track witnesses down adn intimidate them

Whats a car park RTC?

Ive spoke to her tonight as Im concerned that she is moving out too quickly as its a knee jerk reaction. I have no motive as Ive found someone to replace her. She said because of her past she has to move. I asked her if this has happened before she said yes and they came after her.

Thats it then. I swear she thinks life is like a episode of the Sweeney.
