Mario an undocumented Peruvian national was the victim of a robbery at gunpoint and is now suffering from post traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. He cannot get out of bed and is afraid to leave his home. The police have caught the perpetrator and have subpoenaed Mario to appear in court to testify. He is afraid to do so because he does not want to come face-to-face with his attacked again. However, he is willing to give a written statement.
Has Mario been the victim of an enumerated crime and if so which? Assume that the crime does qualify him for relief. Can he demonstrate his willingness to assist in the investigation of a crime by providing a written statement instead of testifying in court as he has been asked to do? (see pages 416-420)
