I made a written statement to an investigator 4 months ago about a friend of mine who was doing some identity theft as she called it. I wasn't the main person and i havn't been called to any of the court date for him unlike the other person who is basically the main witness. I would like to retract the statement because i really remember what was going on truely and i could rather not have nothing to do with it. It's been 4 months and i've moved on with my life. So i'm trying to see how do i get the statement just removed?

So you made a statement to an investigator without an attorney I assume. This mistake is more common than oxygen it seems.

Without going through major legal contortions, you probably cannot withdraw the statement.

Many investigators are experts at cajoling, begging and threatening (and many unethical ones are also experts at lying). So don't feel too badly about it.

The only way you can retract your statement is if you said something that is not true. If you lied then, and admit the truth now, you are leaving yourself open to criminal prosecution.

Not wanting to be involved is not a valid reason to retract your statement.
