Insult, death threat
My father called me a pig, a miserable scumbag, a kidnapper, and a murderer in the presence of several witnesses, and credibly threatened to kill me with an axe.
A restraining order was issued by the district court and confirmed in a hearing. He admitted to the death threat.
My criminal complaint in this regard was dismissed due to lack of public interest. Are there any ways to still pursue prosecution?
An attempt at reconciliation and a private lawsuit were mentioned.
What would an attempt at reconciliation achieve for me? Is it mandatory?
What are the prospects of a private lawsuit? What could a possible punishment look like if successful?
What other options are there to defend myself against this and take legal action?
