District Court 43 4 04

At the heart of the Pocono Mountains, Monroe County is the fastest growing county in Pennsylvania in terms of overall population growth. Such explosive growth has brought with it an overall increase in crime and other public safety issues.

As the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the County, District Attorney E. David Christine, Jr. is responsible for seeking justice on a daily basis, protecting the rights of our citizens through the prosecution of those among us who commit crimes, and providing support and assistance to victims of crime.

Prior to 1850, the investigation and prosecution of crime in Pennsylvania was the province of the state Attorney General and his deputies. In May of 1850. the Pennsylvania legislature, seeing the need for a prosecutor elected by the people of each county, passed a law providing for the election of county District Attorneys.

As a witness in a criminal proceeding you have been subpoenaed to appear in court to testify. Your subpoena is simply a court order directing your appearance at the time and place stated. Once you have been subpoenaed you are required to appear as ordered until excused. Failure to appear may be regarded by the Court as contempt.
