I appreciate all that have givin your advice. I hope I did the right thing, No, I know I did, it's just hard that you try to be a good person and by coming forward, your in danger. I just hope that other people would do the same thing. It's harder to threaten 10 people than 1. Or maybe I just wish people wern't so CRAZY!!!!
The world we live in and what people do amazes me that they can live with themselfs!

IF your family was the victim of a horrific crime, would you want the witness to come forward? Of course and I do understand that it is a tough choice in many circumstances. IF you are being harrassed now, or threatened, you need to contact the prosecutor again and the Police. They SHOULD help you, if not, I'd call the news media and put a bug in their ear, I'm sure they would like a story like this.
For me personally, I'm proud that you did come forward. You have great courage and you have taught your family that standing up for right isn't always easy, but it's what we must do if we ever want to get rid of the thugs. Take care of yourself and be proud that God gave you the inner strength to do what is right!

IT is very smart to come forward. By coming forward you will not have it on your mind all the time wondering what you should have done and that in its self is a prison term. And with the way the detectives have about finding out things they will find out that you where there and you could be linked to the crime so i think i would be talking.

If no one ever came forward what kind of world would we live in.Run by gangs ect.Its only in the movies where revenge is inacted on a family.

Ethically yes. But practically NO .It is not smart to come forward. Unless you dont care about your life and that of your loved ones. Better to save many than one.
