A Utah teen accused of helping a teen girl commit suicide and filming the act is now facing new charges for witness tampering.
Prosecutors this week slapped Przybycien with more felony charges — two counts of tampering with a witness — for allegedly sending a letter to a friend encouraging that friend and others to not speak with prosecutors as the date of his December murder trial nears.
“Because trial is coming, I hear the prosecutors have been vexing you,” Przybyzien wrote, according to charging documents. “I will encourage you to use your right to remain silent as anything YOU say is held against ME in court.
