What is the name of your state? pa
sorry this is so long, but...
in june, i pressed charges against someone who assaulted me. the police went to this person's home the same day and questioned him about what happened. he admitted to everything. he was arrested and charged with assault and harassment. the officer called me and told me that he had never heard of anything like this in his 34 years as a cop, and that he was ready to put this guy under the jail. he said he would testify about how upset i was at the police station. however at the hearing a week later, the officer comes in, says nothing to me, goes over to the defendant and shakes his hand and pats him on the shoulder. the d.a. asked the officer why this wasnt indecent assault. the officer whispered something in his ear. the guy ended being charged with harassment only. now i need a copy of the police report and the defendants statement. police tell me i need an attorney to subpoena and i cant have a copy of his statement. also called court for transcript of hearing, but they won't release it. my question is , is there a law saying that they cant release his statement or the court transcript?
