You just file a form with the clerk of the court. It's an order, but really a formal invitation - but like anything in the court, there is due process, which means you can challenge a subpoena. If served, you have to a least answer the demand to stay in honor. And in that process, the judge can dismiss or enforce the subpoena.
Can someone please educate me on how a private citizen has subpoena powers? Or this this done via his attorney?
In reading the article, the subpoenas are in support of his July trial. So I assume it is part of the discovery process for that trial.
Thanks for that!
All charges will be dropped just before subpoenas are to be executed. That’s the play here.
Yea, suddenly all is forgiven.
Correct, the whole point is to make headlines for for the media. Nothing will actually happen because no crime occurred.
