[sc] Parents Of Felony Dv Keep Asking Me (victim) To Speak With Their Son’s Attorney.

Location: Greenville, SC.

A few weeks ago I was the victim of a DV situation in which they got three different felony charges since it involved a loaded firearm.

I’m poor and can’t even afford my bills much less an attorney of my own and the family has already asked me to make attempts to “lessen” their son’s charges. While I’m struggling with the financial, mental and emotional fallout of all this, I know that what he did is incredibly serious and that he should face the consequences of his actions lest he could think he might get away with more or not learn from this.

They’ve been badgering me to speak with his attorney and I feel it’s to try and get any information out of me they can use to get him out of more trouble and I don’t know what to do. They’re also unfortunately my landlords (he’s not allowed to be here, he’s with his parents under a no contact order), so sometimes I worry they’ll try and use that as leverage.

It’s not like I want any of this for him but damnit he shouldn’t have done it.

Everyone also keeps telling me he’s probably going to get off on all three felonies and probably prison time because his parents have money (they paid his $55k cash only bond). So I don’t know how true it is. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to specify what three felony charges he got at his bond hearing (not sentencing), but it might be sort of obvious by the nature of the offense.

I’m not all too sure how to navigate this. I’d appreciate any help.
