No the lawyer is not a mexican one, no the subpoena is not an
international one, he tried to serve it like if i was in CA but we
where over here in mexico, yes he came to ask me some questions and
gave me a subpoena with my name written in pen lol not like the
clerk prepared it, im guessing it was a bogus subpoena trying to
scare me into appearing that day... hes the defender of the
defendant, the prosecutor hasnt even tried this stunt why should he?

Anyways i asked somewhere else too and aparently you cant serve a
subpoena to a person in another country unless its a special
subpoena that allows that, which in my case it wasnt...
