So, if you receive a subpoena to appear in court, it IS a court order that you can’t just disregard because you “don’t want to go forward.” You can still be held in contempt for not appearing.

Best thing is to communicate with whoever subpoenas you to let them know your input. Other options are to tell them you’ve reached what’s known as an accord and satisfaction. It’s allowed under 19.2-151 and most prosecutors will dismiss the charges at that point.

The key is to communicate with the prosecutors office involved so that you make sure your input is known, and that your unwillingness to proceed doesn’t end up hurting you with a contempt issued or a bench warrant for failing to appear. ... Read More
